Children’s Therapy

What’s wrong?

You can’t figure out why your son refuses to attend school, especially since he used to like school.

Even though you have tried everything you can think of, nothing seems to work.

He must go to school – there is no other option. Therefore, you force him to go anyway and hope for the best.

He’s not getting along.

The teacher has been calling to discuss his disruptive behavior in class.

The principal has you pick him up early from school because he pushed another student down.

At home, he’s fighting with his siblings. When you ask what’s wrong, he shuts down.

It’s time to reach out.

As a parent, you think you’re supposed to have all the answers and know how to ensure your kids are doing well and are happy.

You think, “I am supposed to be able to fix their problems.” But nothing seems to work, and you are out of ideas.

I’m here to tell you that some things are beyond your control, which doesn’t mean you’ve failed.

Are you a failure if you take them to the dentist or the pediatrician? Nope. If you can take them there, you can bring them to me so I can help.

Here’s what you can expect.

I’ll start by talking to the parents only and taking a thorough history, including family history.

In the following session, we’ll bring your child in and have some time with you and your child together so she can start to feel comfortable.

A child’s primary language is play, so I’ll begin to see your child alone for play therapy. We’ll do various art projects, sand trays, cards and board games specifically designed to get to the issue’s root. With virtual sessions, I’ll do more pre-planning and coordination with parents to obtain items to be used.

They will start to come around.

I’ll teach your child how to identify her thoughts and feelings and the language she needs to express them appropriately.

We’ll focus on anger management, conflict resolution, self-soothing, relaxation techniques, effective communication, and social skills, etc.

Kids come in small packages, but their feelings and challenges can be just as overwhelming as they can for adults.

Please don’t wait. Call now so we can get your child back to being a child.
