Individual Child Therapy
In individual sessions, I use a combination of talk and play therapy that is personalized to your child’s developmental stage and unique needs. My goal is to create a warm, supportive, nurturing environment of unconditional acceptance for your child that has the structure and boundaries to keep them safe while they explore their emotions, beliefs, and identity. Therapy promotes children’s development of emotion regulation skills and self-concept so they may navigate their environment, relationships, and internal distress with greater ease and possess tools they can utilize for the rest of their lives. These sessions are combined with parent guidance sessions to provide an integrated, family systems approach.
Parent Guidance Therapy
Parent sessions are the cornerstone of my approach to treatment. Parents and Caregivers-you do SO much. Not only are you the center of your child’s world, but you know your child better than anyone in the world. I see us as partners in gaining insight into your child’s experience and supporting them where they may feel stuck. As they say, there is no guidebook for parenting, therefore, most parents draw on their own childhood experience as a model. There are probably values you want to bring forward into your parenting from the way you were raised, additionally; there may be aspects of your upbringing that you want to change for your child; cycles and generational patterns that you want to break. My goal is to support you in your needs as a parent and individual, build upon your parenting strengths, and explore with you how to create new generational patterns of healing that leave you feeling more connected to your child.
