Individual Play Therapy
Play therapy is to children what counseling is to adults. Play therapy utilizes play, children’s natural medium of expression, to help them express their feelings more easily through toys instead of words.
Therapeutic techniques are based on Child-Centered Play Therapy and other play therapy techniques. Play Therapy focuses on play, the natural language of children, and therapeutic relationship to provide a safe, consistent therapeutic environment for the child. A child’s experience within the therapeutic relationship is the factor that is most healing and meaningful in creating lasting, positive change. The overarching goal is to unleash the child’s potential to move toward integration and self-enhancing ways of being.
family therapy
Techniques used in family therapy include Theraplay® and Child-Parent Relationship Therapy. Theraplay® is a dyadic child and family therapy that focuses on creating and/or strengthening the child-caregiver attachment. Child-Parent Relationship Therapy is a play therapy based program typically done in a group setting for parents, although it can be done on an individual basis. Parents and caregivers will learn skills to respond more effectively to their children’s emotional and behavioral needs.
