Child Therapy in Carmel,
Zionsville and Westfield
Watching your child struggle can feel helpless. Whether it’s anxiety at school, emotional shutdowns, or behavior that feels out of control, you just want to help them feel safe and capable again.
At EMCounseling, our child therapy services provide a space where your child can process what’s hard, learn tools to manage emotions, and build confidence, all while keeping you, the parent, meaningfully involved in the process.
When Your Child is Hurting, the Whole Family Feels It
You might notice your child acting out, shutting down, or becoming more anxious—and despite your best efforts, it feels like nothing helps for long. Many parents we work with describe feeling stuck between wanting to protect their child and not knowing what will actually make a difference.
This may look like…
• Watching your child shut down or act out and not knowing how to help
• Noticing your teen’s anxiety, self-doubt, or emotional pain growing
• Feeling like school has become a daily battle, for them and for you
• Watching your child grieve the loss of someone or something important
• Seeing your child struggle to fit in or feel like they belong
• Worrying they’re carrying more than they know how to say
Our Approach to Child Therapy
We believe every child deserves a space where they can be seen, understood, and supported in becoming their healthiest self. Our therapists help children learn emotional awareness, coping tools, and communication skills in ways that feel natural and age-appropriate. We walk alongside you as the parent in order to better support your child’s growth and healing.
We prioritize collaboration with parents throughout therapy. Every four sessions, we schedule a parent check-in to discuss progress, goals, and any patterns we’re noticing. These sessions ensure therapy stays focused, transparent, and connected to real changes at home and school.
What We Help With

• School anxiety and academic stress
