Helping Children Heal Through Connection, Not Control
Kindful Place Therapy Center specializes in supporting children, teens, and families facing big feelings, including explosive anger, anxiety, and trauma. We know that when kids act out, they’re often crying out—and we’re here to listen.
Whether your child is melting down daily, withdrawing emotionally, or overwhelmed by school or home stress, our trauma-informed therapists help them feel seen, safe, and understood. We offer in-person therapy in Irvine, CA, and virtual sessions throughout California.

-
Angry, defiant, or explosive behavior
-
Anxiety, sadness, or emotional shutdown
-
Trauma, grief, and big life transitions
-
Parent-child conflict and communication struggles

Culturally responsive and bilingual therapy (Spanish/Japanese/English)
🧠 Why Families Choose Kindful Place
We don’t believe in quick fixes or cookie-cutter approaches. Our therapists are warm, playful, and deeply trained in trauma-informed care. We work with the whole family system, helping caregivers build connection instead of control, and helping kids move from dysregulation to healing.
Whether through talk, play, art, or movement, we tailor our approach to meet your child’s needs with compassion and care.
