Therapy That Speaks Your Child's Language
At Fresh Breath Therapy, our Greensboro therapists give children and teens a safe, welcoming space to work through what feels too big to handle alone. Whether it's anxiety that keeps your child up at night, meltdowns that leave the whole family exhausted, or a teenager who's pulled away and stopped talking - you don't have to figure this out on your own.
Children rarely say "I'm anxious" or "I'm depressed" - it shows up as stomachaches before school, angry outbursts, slipping grades, or withdrawing from friends. Our licensed LMFT and LCSWA clinicians are trained to understand what's underneath the behavior and help kids build skills through age-appropriate approaches like play therapy, CBT, and family-involved work.
Parents are partners in everything we do. You'll never be left wondering what's happening in your child's therapy - we keep you involved, informed, and equipped with tools to support progress at home.

Common Reasons Greensboro Families Reach Out
Your child doesn't need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many parents reach out simply because something feels off - and early support makes a lasting difference.
Anxiety & Worry in Kids
Constant "what ifs," separation anxiety, stomachaches before school, perfectionism, and fears that get in the way of everyday childhood.
ADHD & Focus Challenges
Trouble sitting still, staying on task, or following through - we help kids build focus, routines, and confidence, and give parents practical strategies.
Big Emotions & Behavioral Struggles
Meltdowns, defiance, aggression, and emotional outbursts that feel bigger than the situation - we help children learn to name and manage what they feel.
School Stress & Academic Pressure
Test anxiety, homework battles, fear of failure, and the pressure to perform - support for kids who are overwhelmed by school demands.
Bullying & Social Skills
Being left out, teased, or targeted - and difficulty making or keeping friends. We help kids build confidence, resilience, and healthy friendships.
Eating Disorders in Kids & Teens
Restrictive eating, body image struggles, and disordered eating patterns - compassionate, specialized support for young people and their families.
Divorce & Family Changes
Separation, divorce, blended families, moves, and loss - helping children process big family transitions and feel secure again.
Childhood Trauma
Adverse experiences, frightening events, and losses that children carry with them - trauma-informed care that helps kids heal safely.
Teen Depression & Self-Esteem
Withdrawal, irritability, hopelessness, negative self-talk, and low self-worth in teens - support that meets adolescents where they are.
Proven Methods, Made for Kids & Teens
No single therapy fits every child. Our Greensboro clinicians are trained in multiple evidence-based approaches so we can adapt to your child's age, personality, and needs.
Play Therapy
Play is the language of childhood. Through guided play, younger children express feelings, work through conflicts, and build coping skills in a way that feels natural - not clinical.
Trauma-Focused CBT
A leading evidence-based treatment for childhood trauma - combining trauma-sensitive techniques with CBT principles, and involving parents as active partners in recovery.
CBT for Kids & Teens
Age-appropriate cognitive behavioral therapy helps young people connect thoughts, feelings, and behaviors - and challenge the anxious or negative thinking that holds them back.
Family-Involved Therapy
Lasting change happens at home. We bring parents and caregivers into the process with coaching, updates, and family sessions that extend progress beyond the therapy room.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
ACT helps older kids and teens make room for difficult feelings instead of fighting them - and take steps toward what matters, even when things feel hard.
Mindfulness for Kids
Simple, kid-friendly mindfulness tools that help children calm their bodies, notice their feelings, and respond to stress instead of reacting to it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my child needs therapy?+
Common signs include persistent sadness or worry, big behavioral changes, declining school performance, withdrawal from friends, frequent stomachaches or headaches with no medical cause, and difficulty managing emotions. If you're unsure, call us at (919) 300-6717 - a free 15-minute consultation can help you decide the best path for your child.
What happens in my child's first session?+
The first session is about comfort and connection, not pressure. Your child's therapist will help them settle in through conversation or play, learn about what's been going on at home and school, and begin building trust. Parents share their perspective too, and together we sketch out a plan that fits your child's age and needs.
Do parents sit in on sessions?+
It depends on your child's age and needs. Younger children often benefit from parent involvement in parts of the session, while teens usually need their own space to open up. Either way, parents are partners - we provide regular updates, parent coaching, and family sessions as needed so you're never left out of the process.
How does play therapy work?+
Play is how young children naturally communicate. In play therapy, the therapist creates a safe, structured play environment where children express feelings, work through conflicts, and practice coping skills - all through the language they know best. To a child it feels like play; to a trained therapist, it's meaningful therapeutic work.
Do you accept insurance for child therapy in Greensboro?+
We accept most major insurance plans including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, and United Health, and self-pay rates are also available. Coverage varies by plan, so call us at (919) 300-6717 to verify your child's specific benefits before the first appointment.
Will my child's sessions stay private?+
Yes - sessions are confidential and protected under HIPAA and North Carolina law. As a parent, you'll be kept informed about your child's overall progress and safety, while the details your child shares in session stay private so they can build trust with their therapist. We explain exactly how this works at the first appointment.
