Helping Riverton Youth Heal

Child and adolescent therapy in Riverton, UT helps children and teens build emotional awareness, develop healthy coping skills, and strengthen family relationships. At Renova Wellness & Consulting, therapy provides a supportive space where young people can express themselves freely, learn to manage emotions, and gain confidence.

Children and teens experience many of the same emotions as adults, stress, anxiety, sadness, or confusion, but often lack the words or tools to express them. Therapy helps bridge that gap through age-appropriate techniques such as play, art, and open discussion, creating a safe environment for emotional growth and self-discovery.

Joseph Gleed, LCSW, CCTP, CGP, has more than 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and families in Riverton and surrounding communities. His trauma-informed, compassionate approach helps young clients feel seen, understood, and supported.

  • Recognize and express emotions in healthy ways
  • Improve communication and problem-solving skills
  • Manage anxiety, sadness, and frustration
  • Build positive relationships at home and school

With guidance from a licensed therapist, therapy becomes a safe place for growth and healing at every stage of childhood and adolescence.
