Child Therapy
Is your child having trouble in school? Difficulties adjusting to loss (through divorce, death, or simply moving)? Trying to manage the difficult emotions that follow a trauma? Or simply, unhappy, anxious, or lonely? Child therapy can help your youngster learn to understand and manage these difficult emotions and have a happier more fulfilling childhood.
A fully equipped play therapy room helps young clients manage and process difficult emotions, work through traumatic experiences, and have a restorative experience. Play is the child's work. Children process their daily struggles through play. Play therapy takes advantage of this natural state to bring about change.
When treating children, it is important to work closely with parents. Children are part of many systems: family, educational and social. Understanding each child within these contexts is crucial. My assessment and treatment includes consideration for social, biological, psychological, educational and familial life. In addition to child therapy, parent guidance sessions and parent coaching is available.
