Child Therapy

Parent-Child Therapy

The most rapid brain development in the lifespan occurs between birth and age three. Parent-Child therapy addresses this crucial developmental time for the brain and relationships through collaboration between the child, parent, and therapist.

Parental Depression
Developmental Differences
Relational Concerns
Adoption
Attachment Challenges

"Play is the child's language. Toys are the words." Garry Landreth, Ph.D.

Play therapy is the child's equivalent of adult psychotherapy. Children are typically able to express their thoughts and feelings more naturally and easily through toys instead of words.

Play Therapy can be beneficial for children for many reasons. Areas of focus may include:

Adoption
Attachment Disruptions
Relationship Concerns
Behavior Issues
Gifted/Talented Children
Developmental Differences
Depression
Anxiety
