From Guess Work to Real Solutions with Child Therapy in Chicago 

Today was another tough day, wasn’t it? You’re at your wit’s end, watching your child carry worries that no child should have to bear—whether it’s fear of social situations, worrying about a test, or simply feeling too anxious to go upstairs alone. You’re doing everything you can, sitting with them at night, comforting them, and doing your best to reassure them. But deep down, you know they need more than you can offer on your own. Perhaps you’re open to hearing how child therapy in Chicago may be the answer for your child?

Hi, I’m Helena Madsen, owner and founder of Briefly Counseling, and I understand the exhaustion and heartache of seeing your child struggle. I also know the kind of expert support you’re looking for—not just “play therapy” or temporary distractions, but a focused, skill-building approach tailored for children dealing with significant anxiety. I offer child therapy in Chicago that goes deeper, helping kids build the emotional tools they need to manage their worries and step confidently into a brighter future.

Real Child Therapy for Real Change

In my approach, therapy isn’t about just “getting through” sessions; it’s about empowering your child with resilience and skills they’ll carry for life. My focus is on helping children reduce their stress and fear so they can reconnect with the joy and curiosity that make them who they are.

Using techniques like Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, I guide children to process their feelings and gain practical strategies to confront and manage their worries, whether it’s about school, friendships, or bedtime fears.

Building Trust and Skills Together

Creating a safe space is key for kids, especially when they’re wrestling with big feelings like anxiety. My goal is to help children feel understood, supported, and empowered, giving them tools that help them feel capable in their own skin. Therapy with me is a blend of warmth and strategic support; it’s about making connections, having moments of fun, and building trust so your child can open up, express their feelings, and learn the skills they need to manage them effectively.

Support for You, the Parent

I’m also here for you. As a parent, you want to know how to best support your child at home, and that’s part of my work, too. I’ll provide guidance on what you and your family can do to reinforce the progress we make in therapy. You’ll receive insights and strategies to help create a calm, supportive home environment where your child feels safe and capable of tackling their anxieties.

Imagine Life Without Anxiety Taking Over

Imagine a day when your child can drift off to sleep without worry, approach challenges without dread, and feel secure in their own abilities. Through consistent support and practical tools, I can help your child regain a sense of peace and confidence. Therapy isn’t just about managing symptoms; it’s about helping your child grow into their resilience so that anxiety doesn’t overshadow their potential.

Ready to Bring Peace Back into Your Home?

You don’t have to go through this alone. Let’s work together to bring a new sense of hope, peace, and resilience back to your family’s life. I’ll guide, support, and provide both you and your child with the tools to make lasting, positive change.
