Beckley Children's Therapy
2401 S Kanawha St, Beckley, WV
(681) 463-2588
We understand that children don’t always have the words to explain what they’re feeling. Play therapy allows them to express emotions, work through stress, and build coping skills in a way that feels natural and safe for them.
This service can help with things like anxiety, behavior concerns, trauma, adjustment issues, and more—while also giving parents support and guidance along the way.
Our goal is to provide a space where kids feel comfortable, supported, and understood while learning skills that help them at home, in school, and in everyday life.
Hours: Mon - Thur: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM
