Wonder Well Therapy counseling for kids children

Welcome,

Parenting can hold some of our greatest joy and some of our hardest moments. You don’t have to figure them out alone.

Therapy and support for parents, young children, and families throughout California.

Wonder Well Therapy supports children and parents through the messy, meaningful work of growing together. Sometimes the work is about understanding your child. Sometimes it’s about understanding yourself. Often, it’s both.

A couple is lying on a bed, engaging in playful activity. The woman is upside down, balancing on the man's chest with her legs raised in the air. The man is wearing glasses and a white shirt, while the woman is dressed in a yellow top and beige pants. The room has soft natural light, a white curtain, and minimalistic decor, including a rattan wall shelf with a vase.

When you love your child deeply, but parenting still feels really hard.

Maybe it’s the meltdowns that seem to come out of nowhere. The hitting, biting, big worries, sensitivity, or anxiety you don’t quite know how to help.

Maybe you’ve tried the books, the scripts, and strategy after strategy—and you’re still wondering:

What am I missing?

Or maybe your child isn’t the only one struggling. You’re overwhelmed, easily triggered, or carrying more guilt and worry than you expected parenting to bring.

You don’t need to have all the answers. We can slow things down and get curious about what’s happening underneath—for your child, for you, and for your relationship.

Sometimes you don’t need another parenting strategy.

Behavior tells us something.

Instead of only asking, “How do we stop this?” we can begin asking, “What might be happening underneath?”

What is your child communicating? What do they need from you? What happens inside you when your child is struggling?

I believe children grow and heal within relationships. Together, we can better understand the patterns that are keeping your family stuck and find practical ways to build more connection, confidence, and room to actually enjoy one another again.

Things can get better. We’ll get there together.

Testimonials
Testimonial

“I’ve observed Sunny in different capacities and was struck by her extraordinary ability to establish trust and work collaboratively with Birth to Five families and caretakers, involving them in assessment and planning and supporting them in coping with life stresses and difficulties. She values families and respects parents as the critical healing agent and developmental stimulus for the young child. She also recognizes that culture, equity, and diversity in all its forms are instrumental in serving young children and their families. This included honoring the unique and specific cultural values of the family as well as embracing diversity in service delivery where multidisciplinary providers bring together their unique lens to collaborate on the behalf of the young children and their families.”

“Sunny Cho has been a delight. It has been an honor and a blessing to work with Sunny because she brings her full self when she is in community with others. She brings her full, vulnerable, open, and honest self when engaging others. I think that makes her work so magical and fulfilling. I admire the way she is able to break down neurobiology information tangibly to everyone. I highly encourage you all to connect with her and co-create with her.”
