Therapy For Children
(ages 5-12)
Child Therapy Towson MD | Anxiety Therapy for Kids | Therapy for Children with ADHD
When young children experience anxiety, it often shows up through behavior - avoidance, big emotions, difficulty separating, or trouble with everyday routines.
Beneath those moments is a child who doesn’t yet have the skills to understand or express what they’re feeling.
Through child therapy, kids learn how to recognize their thoughts and emotions, build emotional language, and develop coping skills that help them feel more confident, capable, and secure in their daily lives.
Teen Therapy Towson MD | Anxiety & OCD Therapy for Teens
For teens, anxiety can feel constant...overthinking conversations, pressure to succeed, and a deep awareness of how they’re perceived by others.
Even teens who appear high-functioning on the outside may feel overwhelmed internally, trying to keep up while feeling stuck in their thoughts.
Teen therapy creates space to slow down, understand these patterns, and learn practical tools to manage anxiety, ease perfectionism, and feel more grounded and confident.

Parent Support and Coaching
Parent Support Towson MD | Anxiety & Behavior Support
When a child is struggling, it naturally impacts the entire family.
Many parents find themselves adjusting routines, trying to prevent distress, or questioning whether they’re responding in the “right” way.
Parent sessions focus on helping you understand what’s driving your child’s behavior and how to respond in a way that supports growth.
With the right tools and guidance, you can feel more steady, more confident, and less alone in navigating these challenges.
When the right pieces are in place, things begin to shift.
Children feel more capable.
Teens feel less stuck in their thoughts.
Parents feel more confident in how to respond.
The challenges may not disappear overnight...but they become manageable.
And your home begins to feel lighter, more connected, and more steady again.
Kate Lepley Counseling is an out-of-network practice, allowing therapy to remain personalized, confidential, and centered fully around your child and family’s needs - not insurance limitations or diagnoses.
