Juniper Nest Counseling

Juniper Nest Counseling provides specialized therapy for children and teens in the University Area of Charlotte, NC, helping them navigate anxiety, trauma, big emotions, and life transitions. As a parent, you want your child to feel happy, confident, and secure, but when challenges arise, it can be overwhelming to know how to help. We offer a safe, developmentally appropriate space where kids and teens can express themselves, process emotions, and build resilience.

For younger children, we use play therapy, incorporating toys, art, movement, and sandtray to help them work through difficult feelings in a way that feels natural to them. For teens, we integrate creative approaches like expressive arts while also providing space to talk, process, and develop healthy coping skills.

We specialize in EMDR and play therapy to support children and teens in working through trauma, anxiety, grief, behavioral challenges, and major life changes such as loss, or school transitions. Our goal is to meet your child where they are, foster emotional growth, and help them regain a sense of safety and confidence.

If your child is struggling and you’re looking for compassionate, effective therapy, we’re here to help.
