With child -centered play therapy, I can develop a therapeutic relationship with your child , that will promote personal growth and change.
I have a passion for helping children deal with big emotions. Children , often, do not have the ability to verbally express their feelings in words, and, therefore, my preferred approach is child -centered play therapy, which utilizes play as a medium for self-expression. Child -centered play therapy allows a child the freedom to process through the complex emotions they are experiencing, in a safe, contained space, and within a therapeutic relationship. Typically, children being able to communicate and experience their feelings in the playroom will alleviate the behavioral concerns that may result from emotional distress.

Growing up these days is different from ever before. Let me support you and the child /teen you love. I love to partner with parents by sharing concepts presented in counseling in order to allow those to extend into the home/school. To this end, I offer free 15 minute consults with parents to facilitate our sharing of information whenever appropriate. I bring more than 25 years of licensed professional experience in schools and outpatient settings to our work.

Have you noticed that your way of thinking, feeling, or doing things isn't quite the same as others in your life? Perhaps your body language, social skills, interests, behaviors, or general preferences don't seem to match others? Or maybe you have a child who was recently diagnosed with autism, and you recognize some of the same characteristics in yourself? You might even suspect that you have autism spectrum disorder, even though you never received a diagnosis as a child . A diagnosis of autism as an adult can come as a surprise.

Child Therapists

Do I need to attend therapy with my child?

Parents are an integral part of a child’s therapy, but the specifics of their involvement vary. If your child is young, you may attend most or all sessions; if your child is older, you may attend a few sessions or none; sometimes a therapist may ask you to have a session on your own. Whatever the arrangement, you should expect to work collaboratively with the therapist, your child, and your family members to take steps to help support your child.

How long are sessions with child therapists?

Children’s therapy sessions can last 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 60 minutes. The length of the session may depend on your child’s age and the type of therapy practiced. You can discuss this with therapists you consult and the one you ultimately move forward with.

How do I get a child to agree to seek therapy?

The best approach is to have an open-ended conversation with your child about how they’re doing and what they might be struggling with. When you raise therapy, discuss the concept in an age-appropriate way, for example explaining that a therapist’s job is to help kids handle their hard or uncomfortable feelings. Frame therapy positively, as an opportunity to explore and build emotional skills—it’s an important tool in the toolbox to help kids feel their best.

How can I tell if a therapist is a good fit for my child?

A child needs to feel comfortable opening up about their thoughts and feelings, so if your child feels a sense of comfort, ease, and trust with their therapist, that’s a great sign. In addition, a therapist is a good fit for your child if the two can communicate well together; a clinician should be able to communicate clearly, effectively, and in an age-appropriate manner.
