If your child suffers from anxiety, depression, or challenging behaviors, or has experienced a traumatic event, it may be hard for you and your child to get through the day. You may worry about your child's future, or feel that you can’t be the parent you want to be when it's a battle just to get through basic daily activities. Individual play therapy, or Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, can turn this around. Both are evidence-based treatments to help children learn how to handle their intense feelings and improve their relationships with others. I will involve you in the treatment process.
Individual play therapy supports children's emotional growth and healing and helps them gain social skills and learn to problem solve. Parent-Child Interaction Therapy is an intensive coaching program that teaches parents a blend of play therapy techniques and discipline strategies. You will strengthen your bond and help your child to follow directions.
I also offer individual therapy for adults, drawing from cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques. I am highly trained and have many years of experience helping children and families. The therapies I offer have all been shown to be effective through many years of research. Get in touch for a free phone consultation!
