Inner Child Therapy

Kind, effective and high quality treatment

inner child therapy in northern virginia, maryland, and dc

We each have an inner child within us. It is a part of us that may be frozen in time with pain, wounds, and traumas that need healing that continue to affect you today. Inner child therapy helps you connect with the inner child within you. You will get to know your inner child and learn how to listen to their needs. You will gain insight into the ways in which your inner child’s needs were not met and how it affects you. You will learn how to bring your inner child home to you again — to help heal their wounds and bring them to a place of safety and wholeness. Internal Family System (IFS) and psychodynamic approaches are used to help you heal and reparent your inner child to live with more joy and peace again.


We nurture our creativity when we release our inner child. Let it run and roam free. It will take you on a brighter journey.
