As a parent, are you having a difficult time managing your child or adolescent's behavior? Has your child's behavior become increasingly more difficult, so that you find that your family is struggling to support each other? Are you at your wits end and find that you have no idea how to move forward? Maybe, your child has experienced a bad situation and needs additional support and coping skills to get through it?
We are one of the premier clinical practices in a 30 mile radius who offers play therapy with a Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor on staff. This practice and its staff have a passion for working with both children and adolescents by utilizing play therapy interventions, while promoting the fact that working on your problems can be fun.
