Many children worry from time to time, but ongoing anxiety can start to affect sleep, school participation, friendships, family routines, or confidence. Child anxiety therapy can help when fears feel intense, avoidance is growing, or your child seems stuck in patterns of distress. Parents often search for therapy for child anxiety when reassurance no longer seems to be enough and they want clear next steps.
