Child Therapy
We offer a diversity of services to support children and their families. Children ages 2-10 years old, can show their emotions and feelings in ways that are difficult to understand. We work very closely with families to help them understand and work with the child to better manage these emotions and behaviors. We work closely with the local schools to help parents with IEP plans and as a support structure. We work to address a range of issues, including but not limited to, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, body image issues, relationship issues, peer difficulties, bullying, school issues, family issues, unresolved past traumas, divorce, moving, new siblings, grief and loss, emotional regulation, ADD/ADHD, and interpersonal difficulties.
What Types of Treatment are Provided Here?
We understand that children often express themselves differently than adults, and we are committed to providing a comprehensive range of therapeutic modalities tailored to meet the unique needs of each child. Our skilled therapists employ talk therapy as a foundational approach, creating a safe and supportive space for children to articulate their thoughts and emotions. Recognizing the diverse ways in which children communicate, we also integrate art therapy, encouraging creative expression through various artistic mediums. Play therapy is another integral component, utilizing toys and games to help children process complex feelings and experiences in a more interactive and enjoyable manner. Additionally, we offer sand therapy, a tactile and symbolic method that allows children to construct personal narratives through the manipulation of sand and miniature figures. By combining these diverse therapeutic techniques, we ensure a holistic and child-centered approach, fostering a healing environment where children can explore and navigate their emotions in a manner that suits their individual preferences and developmental stages.
