Child Therapy
Child therapy is a structured process where a therapist helps a child express feelings, develop coping skills, and improve behavior or emotional well-being.
OUR APPROACH
Meeting Children Where They Are
Because children often struggle to communicate their feelings directly, therapists use developmentally appropriate techniques in order to help children express their thoughts and emotions in ways that feel natural.
THERAPEUTIC TECHNIQUES
How We Work With Children
We use a variety of evidence-based, developmentally appropriate modalities to help children express themselves and build lasting coping skills.
01
Play Therapy
Psychotherapy designed for children that uses play in a natural way to help them express their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Play therapy allows children to communicate without needing vocabulary or emotional awareness they have not yet developed.
02
Expressive Arts
This therapeutic approach uses creative activities such as art, music, drama, and movement. Creative expression can often be easier than talking about difficult feelings and can bring emotions to the surface that we are not fully aware of.
03
Storytelling
This technique uses stories, narratives, and imagination to help children explore emotions, understand experiences, and develop coping skills. Through stories, children can express feelings and reflect on challenges in a safe and indirect way.
04
Games & Role-Play
Interactive strategies used to help children and teens express emotions, practice social skills, and learn healthy coping strategies. These activities make therapy engaging and comfortable while allowing therapists to observe how children think, feel, and behave.
