CHILD & ADOLESCENT & COUNSELING
I work with children from birth to teens. Typically, children under age two are seen with their parents for assistance with attachment. Children as young as two may benefit from play therapy, particularly in the aftermath of abuse, neglect, or trauma. With pre-teens and adolescents, I use a combination of traditional talk therapy combined with creative therapies, including music, art, or games.
Many of my clients are experiencing difficulty with:| • Adoption • Death or loss • School difficulties • Attachment • Abuse • Divorce |
• Anxiety |
FAMILY COUNSELING & PARENT SUPPORT
Parenting is hard—all parents deserve guidance and support. Family therapy may be helpful when your child is already involved in play therapy. Frequently when a child is in crisis, the entire family unit is thrown off balance. Family therapy can help stabilize the whole family while reinforcing the hard work your child is completing in individual therapy.
Parent and family support will help you take what you already know and build upon it. Parent coaching is different from parenting classes in that our sessions will be uniquely focused on the specific needs of you and your family. You may find yourself needing new ideas on discipline, balancing your family life, communicating with your child, deepening your connection with your child, or understanding developmental milestones. Remember, parenting should be fun!
