OUR SERVICES
Play Therapy
Being a teenager is hard! Adolescents are forming their own identity, gaining independence and managing social and academic pressures. Some teens manage well while others have some difficulties. Parenting changes too and the way that you communicate and set limits can become filled with tension. Together with your therapist you will identify concerns and priorities. The therapist will then determine the best therapeutic approach which can include creative expression, traditional talk therapy, and other modalities.
Family Therapy/Parenting Consultations
Play therapy is a research based and effective therapeutic approach. It allows children to express themselves and utilize their natural language of play to enhance their interpersonal skills and work through difficulties. Play therapists are uniquely trained to support, understand and connect with children's play. The therapist will also meet regularly with the guardian to support the child's work in therapy. In play therapy, toys become a child's words and play their language.
There is no handbook on parenting. Parenting can be both deeply rewarding and incredibly difficult especially when raising a child with unique needs or behaviors. We are here to support you and your child as you work through challenges and changes. We understand that when your child/adolescent is struggling, the family is likely to be also. We believe in empowering parents to deal with challenges and stressors they may be facing while assisting them in gaining skills to help their child. We also believe in strengthening the parent-child relationship.
Sessions can be done in office or virtual. Please discuss with your therapist
