Helping Children Grow, Heal, and Thrive Through Play
At Creative Psychological Health Services, we understand that childhood comes with big emotions, unique challenges, and important transitions. With offices in Catonsville, Columbia, and Frederick, our team of compassionate therapists specialize in play, art, drama, and other expressive therapies that meet children right where they are—supporting emotional growth, social development, and overall well-being.
This summer, we’re offering a range of engaging support groups and camps designed to build confidence, foster friendships, and ease school transitions. Topics include social skills, leadership, selective mutism, and adjusting to new school environments—all in a fun and supportive setting.
If your child could use a safe space to express themselves, connect with peers, or build new strengths, we’re here to help.
