Toddler Therapists in Tucson, AZ
Hi, I’m Monica! I specialize in working with children and adolescents who are navigating emotional and behavioral challenges. I’m passionate about supporting those experiencing difficulties related to neurodiversity, anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, self-esteem, self-harming behaviors, peer relationships, and trauma. Many of the young people I work with struggle to identify, understand, and express their feelings and needs—and that’s where our work begins. Through a compassionate, individualized approach, I help clients build self-awareness, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop healthy coping strategies.

I provide child therapy services that are tailored to the specific needs of your child with a minimum age of 3 years old. Therapy with children can look quite differently from adult therapy, since kids are usually not able to put words to their feelings in the same way adults do. Kids will usually engage in play and creative activities such as art work and sandplay. Therapy is more focused on the right-brain rather than logic and reasoning by giving the space for your child to engage in creative activities. As parents you play a vital role in your child's life and I can help you with additional parenting ideas that may help.

For 15 years, I have provided therapy to children, adults and families of varied backgrounds and experiences. I often work on addressing parent-child relationships, life transitions, emotional regulation, depression/anxiety and trauma where there has been abuse, violence and early childhood trauma. Play is the language of children and is an important part of working with kids and families. I value treatments that include cognitive-based skills and involve reflecting on the underlying meaning of behaviors which can help manage our responses. Whether utilizing play, art or talk, therapy can help us gain greater insight and growth.

What are the behavioral signs indicating a toddler might need counseling?
Common behavioral signs that a child may need counseling include high levels of emotional distress or anxiety, learning challenges, interpersonal conflict, anger, or social withdrawal. Any drastic changes in toddler behavior or self-esteem can be indicative that a child may benefit from therapy. Seeing a therapist at the early stages of any behavioral changes can be most impactful on behavior, as well as helpful to caregivers who may receive guidance on what symptoms to look for in their child in the future, even if therapy is not warranted at that time.
Can a two-year-old see a psychologist?
Children and adults of all ages can see psychologists and other forms of mental health professionals, such as counselors, psychiatrists, and social workers. Families seeking therapy for their toddler should just be aware that any guidance they seek should come from a professional who has specific experience working with young children, as well as the specific modalities that are appropriate for young children, such as play therapy.
What is the most effective type of therapy for toddlers and preschoolers?
In general, play therapy is the most effective and common form of therapy for young children. Play therapy helps facilitate behavior change by offering an age-appropriate way for children to express their emotions and develop more effective coping strategies. Toddlers with specific concerns may benefit from more specialized forms of therapy, such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy for children with autism or Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) for toddlers in families in which there is significant parent-child relational conflict.
What happens during therapy sessions for toddlers?
What occurs in therapy sessions for toddlers depends on the therapeutic approach being used by the therapist. Most toddler therapists will use some form of play therapy in sessions to encourage toddler engagement. In play therapy sessions, children are encouraged to use toys within the therapy setting to express their emotions; subsequent responses by the therapist and/or family members can help guide toddler behavior and behavior change. Toddler therapy sessions can also involve family therapy or Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), which can help improve parenting behaviors and reduce strain on families.
