Child & Teen Therapy
Growing up in the Philippines comes with its own pressures — academic expectations, social media, family dynamics, and the weight of cultural norms. Saya connects young Filipinos with therapists who understand their world and speak their language.
Our therapists are PRC-licensed and trained in child and adolescent psychology. Sessions happen via Google Meet, in English or Filipino, from the comfort of home.
When to Consider Therapy for Your Child
Kids and teens don't always say when they're struggling. Sometimes it shows in their behavior, grades, or how they interact with others. Therapy gives them a safe space to express what they can't always put into words.
Your child is struggling with school pressure or academic stress
They're being bullied or having trouble with friendships
They seem anxious, withdrawn, or unusually sad
They're going through a family change like divorce or relocation
They're dealing with identity, self-esteem, or body image issues
You want to support their emotional development proactively
What Sessions Look Like
For younger children, therapists use age-appropriate techniques — interactive activities, drawing, storytelling, and play-based approaches adapted for video calls. The goal is to help them express emotions they might not have words for yet.
For teenagers, sessions are more conversational. Your teen gets a private, confidential space to talk about what's really going on — without the fear of being judged or getting in trouble. Therapists build trust first, then work on coping strategies together.
Parents stay involved too. Your therapist will share general progress updates and practical suggestions you can use at home — while respecting your child's privacy and trust.
