Counseling for Children in Omaha

No parent wants their child to be hurt. However, when you recognize that your child needs more support than you can provide, it can bring about a new set of fears: "Is my child going to be ok?" "What did I do wrong?" "Who will I trust to work with my child?" Caritas Counseling understands this fear; we will provide safe, effective, and Christian-based child therapy that addresses the child's needs while encouraging the parent's strengths. 

Friendly Environment

" Whoever Welcomes One of These Little Children in My Name Welcomes Me" Mark 9:37. 

When children walk through our office doors, they are immediately welcomed into an environment that facilitates comfort, security, and warmth. Children communicate differently from adults. Therefore, our child therapy room is a welcoming, child-friendly environment that instills a sense of security, trust, and curiosity. 

Play Therapy

Instead of traditional talk therapy, children are encouraged to express their feelings and master challenges through art and play. Children will use puppets, clay, a sand tray, miniatures, costumes, playhouses, and other strategic toys in play therapy. 

We Tackle the Issues

Through play therapy, children learn to identify and express their feelings. With Jen, kids explore and tackle the more significant issues that bring them into treatment: worries, divorce, abuse, grief, negative behaviors, ADHD, loneliness, anxiety, trauma, and anger.

Counseling Young People in Omaha

In many ways, today's adolescents have it more complex than ever before. The stress created by the pressures of school, family, media, and peers can be overwhelming. We go above and beyond at Caritas Counseling to give your children a safe place to be themselves and find healing. 

Inner Strength

"I Am Fearfully and Wonderfully Made. His Works Are Wonderful! I Know That Full Well!"

Psalm 139:14. 

Unfortunately, many youth do not know or believe this to be true. Instead, pressure from the media, judgment from peers, family stress, childhood trauma, and unmet expectations from parents, adults, and friends cause adolescents to question their uniqueness, strength, and beauty.

Share Experiences

At Caritas Counseling, we seek to meet each teenager exactly where they are at. She understands that for a youth to open up and trust anyone (let alone an adult), they need to feel heard and valued. We use talk, art, and play to help each teenager explore her feelings, share her experiences, and voice her hope.
