Therapy for Children, Teens & Parents in South Pasadena

Every child and teenager has their own unique story. At Cultivate Grace Counseling, I provide a warm, safe space where children, teens, and families can express themselves freely, feel deeply supported, and discover healthy ways to cope.

My care is tailored to your child's developmental stage, ensuring an approach that fits their specific age and needs. As a Registered Play Therapist (RPT), I use specialized play therapy techniques to help younger children process big emotions through their natural language of play. For adolescents, I provide targeted teen counseling to help them navigate life changes, school stress, and anxiety.

No matter the age, I partner closely with parents along the way. I offer supportive parent coaching to ensure lasting growth and emotional well-being right here in South Pasadena and the Greater Los Angeles area.
