Child Therapy in San Jose

You Need a Child Therapist To Help You

The constant battles, the emotional rollercoaster, and the sheer intensity of your child's needs have brought you to your wit's end.

You never thought being a parent was going to be like this. The reality of parenting, starkly different from what you envisioned, leaves you grappling with emotions you never expected to face.

You thought parenting would be challenging, yes, but also filled with moments of joy and connection.

Instead, you're navigating a minefield of tantrums, anxiety, and misunderstandings, each day feeling more like a test of survival than an opportunity to bond with your child.

Tantrums and Meltdowns Rule Your Child’s Life

Your child's body becomes a vessel of unchecked emotion—flailing limbs, clenched fists, and a face flushed with the exertion of their cries. Words transform into screams, and rational communication becomes lost in a sea of overwhelming feelings.

The triggers might be small—a toy out of place, a change in routine, or a simple "no" to a request—but the reaction is anything but.

The cries and screams echo long after the tantrum subsides, leaving you feeling exhausted in their wake.

You're left wondering about the root of such intense reactions. You are helpless in the face of your child's apparent distress.

Your Child’s Academics are Slipping

Academic problems often come to light through teacher reports or slipping grades, marking a clear sign that your child is facing obstacles beyond typical learning curves.

These aren't mere reflections of their capability but signals that they might need support in areas that extend beyond academic knowledge.

Bullying, feelings of isolation, or simply not fitting in can exacerbate these academic struggles, making school a source of anxiety rather than a place of growth and discovery. You wonder if your child is ever going to succeed, and what you thought was a bright, full of potential-child is not on the trajectory of failure.

Questions swirl in your mind: "Could I have done more? Am I failing as a parent?"

Fun and Engaging Child Therapy in San Jose 

I'm Hannah Ly, a dedicated child therapist right here in San Jose. I'm here to share with you a different way of experiencing therapy—a journey where healing is infused with joy, play, and deep connection.

Understanding that each child is unique, I've tailored my practice to transform therapy into an engaging, fun, and incredibly effective experience for your little ones.

My approach is grounded in the belief that therapy should never be a chore for children.

An Emphasis on Play Therapy for Children

By incorporating play therapy into our sessions, I create a safe and dynamic environment where children can express themselves, explore their emotions, and navigate their experiences with ease.

This playful approach not only makes therapy enjoyable but also deeply therapeutic, allowing children to open up and engage in the healing process naturally and authentically.

This could mean storytelling, art, music, or role-playing games, each tailored to meet your child's individual needs and preferences. Play therapy isn't just about having fun—it's a strategic and evidence-based approach that helps children process their emotions, develop problem-solving skills, and learn new ways of interacting with the world around them.

It's through this engaging and nurturing process that we can address issues from trauma to anxiety, building a foundation for lasting resilience and emotional well-being.

Attachment and Trauma Trained Expert in Child Therapy

With expertise in attachment and trauma, I bring a nuanced understanding of the complex layers that shape a child's experience. Recognizing the profound impact of early relationships and traumatic events, my therapy sessions are designed to address these foundational aspects with sensitivity and care.

Through this focus, I help children build secure attachments, foster resilience, and heal from past traumas, laying the groundwork for a brighter, more balanced future.
