Counseling Practice – Grapevine Children’s Counseling
Grapevine Children’s Counseling is a mental health practice serving children, adolescents, and teens in the Grapevine and Southlake, Texas areas. The practice is led by Kristen, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Children’s Counseling from the University of North Texas. Her clinical background spans work in schools, psychiatric hospitals, and domestic violence agencies, grounding the practice in a range of real-world therapeutic settings.
The practice centers on trauma therapy, anxiety, depression, and support for individuals on the autism spectrum. Services for younger clients include play therapy, which is used to help children process experiences and express emotions in developmentally appropriate ways. A notable feature of the practice is animal-assisted therapy, offered alongside Linus, the practice’s therapy dog, as a complementary element within sessions. Parent support services are also available, recognizing the role caregivers play in a child’s progress.
Teen counseling is offered as a distinct service, addressing the specific pressures and social challenges adolescents encounter. The practice additionally provides childhood trauma therapy for adults, supporting those who experienced significant early-life adverse events and are seeking to work through those experiences in adulthood.
Regarding communication and developmental concerns, the practice notes experience with clients facing challenges in communication, behavioral regulation, and social skills development.
Session formats include both in-person and virtual appointments, providing scheduling flexibility for families. Prospective clients can schedule a free 15-minute consultation call through the website to discuss their needs before committing to a full session.
