CHILDRENS THERAPY IN COLORADO SPRINGS
Helping Kids Build Confidence, Resilience, and Emotional Balance
At Solace Solutions Counseling & Evaluations, we understand that childhood comes with challenges — big feelings, changing friendships, family stress, and life transitions. Sometimes, kids just need a safe space to talk, explore, and heal.
Our therapists provide compassionate, age-appropriate therapy for children ages 5 and older, helping them learn healthy ways to express emotions, develop coping skills, and feel more confident in who they are.
When to Consider Therapy for Your Child
Every child struggles from time to time — but if you’ve noticed lasting changes in mood, behavior, or school performance, therapy may help.
We support children who may be experiencing:
* Anxiety or frequent worries
* Sadness, low mood, or withdrawal
* Anger outbursts or irritability
* Difficulty paying attention or focusing (ADHD)
* Adjustment to divorce, loss, or big life changes
* Effects of trauma, neglect, or bullying
* Family conflict or challenges with peers
Our Approach
At Solace Solutions, we believe every child deserves a space to feel safe, seen, and supported. We use evidence-based, creative, and family-centered techniques to meet each child where they are and help them thrive.
Our therapeutic approaches may include:
* Play Therapy Informed Techniques – Helping children express emotions and experiences through play and storytelling
* Art Therapy Techniques – Using drawing, painting, and creative expression to help children process feelings that words can’t capture
* Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Building coping skills, confidence, and self-awareness
* Mindfulness & Emotional Regulation Tools – Teaching focus, calm, and body awareness
* Multi-Systemic Therapy (MST) – A collaborative, evidence-based approach that addresses the complex needs of youth by involving their families, schools, and communities
* Family Collaboration – Involving caregivers to strengthen understanding, communication, and connection at home
Whether through art, play, or conversation, we help children heal their mind, body, and spirit — and develop resilience that lasts a lifetime.
