Child Therapy (ages 4-11)

Children experience and express the world at their unique developmental level. Using non-directive play therapy approaches, children are able to safely express their inner world. Therapy involves the therapist joining children in their world join to safely and securely explore what is happening for them.

Using games, art, music, movement, role play, and more, therapy helps children adaptively cope with challenges, express their needs in a safe and healthy way, process trauma, and put language to their emotions.

The therapist also works with parents and caregivers to provide collaborative support so the home environment can best support the growth and healing of the child.

Teen Therapy (12-17)

Teenagers are faced with a uniquely stressful life; not only can school be immensely difficult, but home can also feel just as scary. Life can get very lonely, especially if you don’t have a safe space to just be.

The therapy room does not have to be another chore or something you are forced into. It can look like playing sports and games, doing your hair and makeup, or even doing your homework.

Your therapist will follow your lead and focus on building a relationship that is meaningful to you. Whether you want to talk, play, make art, or sit in silence, the space is yours.
