Young children between the ages of 1 and 9 experience big feelings, often before they have the words to explain them. Emotional and behavioral challenges at this age can show up as frequent tantrums, sleep issues, separation anxiety, defiance, clinginess, trouble focusing, or developmental delays. These signs may stem from stress, family changes, trauma, sensory sensitivities, or simply difficulty navigating the world around them. Early childhood mental health support can help families better understand what’s behind a child’s behavior and provide nurturing tools to support healthy emotional development.

Therapists at Westside Behavioral Care use compassionate, age-appropriate approaches to support children and their families. Many work through play therapy, which helps children express themselves through play when words are hard to find. Depending on the child’s needs, providers may also incorporate behavioral therapy, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), or mindfulness-based practices. Some therapists work closely with parents to provide parenting support or family sessions. If you’re new to therapy, ask about how the provider involves parents and caregivers in the process, it’s a key part of successful treatment for this age group.

You can find therapists for children across the Greater Denver Area, with appointments available both in person and through secure online therapy anywhere in Colorado. Every provider is in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many also accept a wide range of other major insurance plans. We make it easier for families to get the help they need, when and where it works for them.

Young children between the ages of 1 and 9 are going through a time of incredible emotional, social, and cognitive growth. As they develop language, form friendships, and learn about the world around them, they may also experience anxiety, behavioral struggles, emotional outbursts, sleep issues, or difficulty adjusting to changes at home or school. Life events like divorce, loss, trauma, or moves can be especially confusing and overwhelming at this stage. With the right support, these early years offer powerful opportunities for building resilience, self-confidence, and emotional understanding.

Therapists at Westside Behavioral Care offer warm, developmentally appropriate therapy that meets young children where they are. Many use play therapy, expressive arts, and story-based approaches to help children express feelings in nonverbal ways. Sessions often include parent involvement, parent-child interaction therapy, and family guidance to ensure consistent support at home. Our therapists are skilled at making sessions feel safe, engaging, and collaborative, using evidence-based techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and behavior-focused coaching. Every child is unique and therapy is personalized to match their temperament, needs, and the concerns of their caregivers.

Westside offers flexible, accessible care for young children both in person throughout the Greater Denver Area and via secure telehealth anywhere in Colorado. Our licensed therapists are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many also accept other major insurance plans. Whether you’re looking for early intervention, emotional support, or parenting strategies, our team is here to help your child and family thrive right from the start.
