Child Therapy

We work with children ages 8 and above. We understand that children do not respond as well as adults to traditional “talk therapy” and have found that therapy tends to be a lot more successful when we speak through their language of play and/ or art. We use elements of play therapy along with behavioral therapy to help kids express their emotions regarding whatever struggles they are facing. 

Although we often meet with the child individually for sessions, therapy with children almost always includes family as well. We will occasionally include joint parent-child or family sessions into the treatment plan. At times we may meet individually with parents/ guardians for parenting support and to address any issues within the overall family system.
