Struggling with Your Child’s Emotions, ADHD, or Trauma? You’re Not Alone.

Children often struggle to express their emotions, cope with trauma, or manage ADHD-related challenges, leaving parents feeling overwhelmed and unsure of how to help.
Anumeet Bhandal is a compassionate therapist who specializes in Play Therapy for young children (5+), using creative, age-appropriate methods to support their emotional growth and well-being.

Play Therapy

+

Play Therapy is an evidence-based approach that helps children process emotions, cope with trauma, and express themselves through toys, art, and storytelling.

 Encourages self-expression in a non-threatening way

 Helps children process difficult experiences like trauma or family changes

 Supports emotional regulation for children struggling with big emotions

Example: A child who has experienced a stressful event may act out, withdraw, or struggle in school. Through Play Therapy, they gain the tools to express their feelings, build confidence, and develop healthy coping strategies.

Healing Trauma in Children

+

Children who experience trauma—whether from family conflict, separation, loss, or abuse—may struggle with anxiety, nightmares, or behavioral changes. Anumeet helps children:

 Feel safe and understood while processing difficult emotions

 Develop coping skills to manage anxiety and stress

 Rebuild trust and resilience for a healthier emotional future

Example: A child who has gone through a stressful family situation or sudden loss may become withdrawn or act out aggressively. Therapy provides a safe space to work through emotions and restore emotional balance.

ADHD & Emotional Regulation

+

Children with ADHD often struggle with focus, impulse control, and frustration, leading to challenges in school and at home. Anumeet provides:

 Fun, engaging strategies to improve attention and self-regulation

 Coping tools for handling frustration and big emotions

 Support for parents on how to create structure and positive reinforcement at home

Example: Your child has difficulty sitting still, following instructions, or controlling outbursts. Therapy helps them develop focus, patience, and positive social interactions.
