Confident Kids
Our child group therapy program empowers children Kindergarten thru 5th grade with essential life skills that go beyond the classroom. They learn to express their emotions, identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts, and build resilience to face life's challenges with confidence.
In Person Sessions
Our in-person sessions, held in our office located in the charming Nob Hill neighborhood of Portland, Oregon, provide a valuable opportunity for children to engage face-to-face with peers and clinicians in a supportive environment. These sessions cultivate a strong sense of community and belonging, enabling children to practice social skills and form meaningful relationships.
Science Backed Program
Confident Kids is grounded in the latest research in child psychology and education. Our program is developed using evidence-based strategies that have been proven to enhance emotional intelligence, resilience, and social skills in children. We continuously update our curriculum to reflect new findings and best practices in the field.
Facilitated by Child Mental Health Experts
Our sessions are led by experienced child mental health experts who are passionate about helping children thrive. Our facilitators bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to each session, ensuring every child receives the guidance and support they need.
A Safe Space
At Confident Kids, our clinicians prioritize creating a safe and welcoming space for all. Our facilitators are trained to foster an atmosphere of trust and respect, encouraging children to share their thoughts and feelings openly. We adhere to strict safety protocols and confidentiality measures to ensure that every child feels protected and valued in our program.

The Program
Week 1: Emotions
Kids understand the crucial role emotions play in our lives. We explore how our feelings connect to our actions and responses in everyday situations.
Week 2: Thoughts
Kids develop an awareness of their own thinking and the power they have to shift their thoughts to become more flexible and better able to cope.
Week 3: Actions/Behaviors
Kids practice recognizing the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. They learn about the importance of this relationship and how it can impact their ability to manage every day stressors.
Week 4: Coping Strategies
Using concepts like mindfulness and self-soothing strategies, kids discover healthy coping tools to manage their emotions and stress with confidence.
Week 5: Mindset
Kids learn about mindsets that change how they relate to stress, as well as increase their potential for academic and personal success.
Week 6: Friendship
By exploring empathy, communication skills, and self-compassion, kids learn how to build and keep healthy friendships while also being a friend to themselves.
