Infant & Early Childhood Mental Health in Ann Arbor, michigan
Raising a little one is hard—getting support shouldn’t be.
In the first years of life, your child's brain is like a sponge, soaking up every experience. It's a magical time of growth and discovery, but it comes with its fair share of challenges. At Hive Wellness Collective, we specialize in navigating these crucial years, ensuring your little one gets the best start possible.
Your child’s best tomorrow starts with the right support today.
Raising a tiny human in today’s fast-paced world isn’t just a big job—it's monumental. That’s why at Hive Wellness Collective, we’re more than therapists; we're your partners in nurturing your child’s early mental and emotional development.
From the first smile to the first steps, early childhood is a critical time for emotional and cognitive growth. Our therapists specialize in understanding these formative years and providing the support that young children—and their parents—need. We help little ones learn to process their emotions, embrace their unique selves, and interact positively with the world around them.

Skills for now, resilience for life. We’re about setting up your child for long-term success.
Infant & Early Childhood Mental Health specialists lay the groundwork for emotional and social well-being, turning early challenges into opportunities for growth and resilience.
Here's how they help:
Anxiety and Fears: Equip children with strategies to manage anxiety, easing fears about new experiences or separations.
Tantrums and Emotional Outbursts: Teach effective techniques for managing and reducing the frequency of emotional dysregulation.
Attachment Issues: Strengthen the bonds between children and caregivers, fostering secure, healthy attachments.
Delayed Social Skills: Enhance communication and interaction skills, supporting successful social interactions with peers and adults.
Developmental Guidance: Provide developmental check-ins and tailored advice to ensure children meet emotional and cognitive milestones.
The early years are messy, magical, and—let’s be honest—a little a lot overwhelming.
Tantrums, separation anxiety, sleep struggles, and BIG emotions in tiny bodies? It’s a lot. But you don’t have to figure it out alone.
At Hive, we specialize in helping babies, toddlers, and preschoolers navigate their emotions, behavior, and relationships—so they can grow, thrive, and feel safe in their world (and so you can breathe a little easier).
What We Help With:
Tantrums & Emotional Outbursts – We help little ones regulate their emotions before every meltdown turns into a battle.
Separation Anxiety & Transitions – From daycare drop-offs to bedtime struggles, we ease the tough goodbyes.
Behavioral Challenges – Biting, hitting, refusing to listen? We teach positive ways to communicate and connect.
Social & Play Skills – Helping kids learn to take turns, make friends, and feel comfortable in new environments.
Parent Support & Coaching – Because no one hands you a manual when your child is born, but we can help you write one that actually works.
How We Work:
Play-Based Therapy – Kids learn through play, so we meet them where they are.
Attachment-Focused Approach – Strengthening the parent-child bond is at the core of everything we do.
Practical, Real-Life Strategies – No fluff, no judgment—just expert guidance that makes everyday life easier.
