Cloud 9 Wellness Co.

Behavioral challenges can create friction in a child or teen’s life, making it hard to function at home, school, or in relationships. Whether it’s impulsivity, emotional outbursts, difficulty following rules, or challenges with social interactions, these behaviors are often a sign of underlying struggles. At Cloud 9 Wellness Co., I take a compassionate and tailored approach to understanding and addressing these behaviors, helping children and teens build the skills they need to thrive.

I work closely with children, teens, and young adults to uncover the root causes of their behavioral challenges. Using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and child-led therapeutic play, we focus on developing emotional regulation, problem-solving, and communication skills. These tools empower kids to manage strong emotions, make better decisions, and improve relationships with others.

I also incorporate movement-based interventions, like trauma-informed yoga, and creative outlets, such as art and music, to engage young clients in a way that feels natural and supportive. These strategies help them express emotions they may not have the words for, while also building self-awareness and mindfulness.

As a therapist, I emphasize a relational approach—creating a space where kids feel safe, heard, and understood. Behavioral challenges often stem from difficulties in relationships, whether at home or in social settings, so we work together to build trust and repair those connections. Through this process, we address not just the behaviors but the emotions and experiences driving them.

With patience, guidance, and the right strategies, your child or teen can overcome these challenges, learn new skills, and grow into their best self.
