About Wausau Clinic - Children’s Wisconsin

Children and teens who struggle with emotional, social, or behavioral concerns can find support through individual and family therapy. Care is designed not only for young people but also for their caregivers, helping the whole family work together toward healthier relationships. Licensed therapists create a safe, welcoming space where children feel understood, while parents and caregivers gain tools to support progress at home and in daily life.
Therapy focuses on building skills that help kids manage stress, solve problems, and communicate more effectively. Using trauma-informed, evidence-based methods, therapists develop personalized treatment plans that reflect each child’s strengths and challenges. This approach keeps therapy practical and goal-driven, with families playing an active role in reinforcing positive changes in school, home, and community settings.
Sessions are shaped around the child’s needs and may include talking, play, or guided activities that make it easier to explore thoughts and feelings. Early visits build trust and comfort, while later sessions focus on practicing new skills and reaching treatment goals. Families stay involved throughout the process, working alongside the therapist to support lasting progress and help children grow more confident and resilient over time.
