Specialized Counseling for Children and Teens
Child Counseling
Play therapy is the most natural form of therapy for children. Through play, children can process current and past events utilizing their language of play.
Teen Counseling
The teenage years are times of insecurity and change as teens struggle to build their identities. Therapy can help teens build effective coping skills. You need a therapist who is experienced in teen counseling, highly knowledgeable, and someone that your teen can relate to and trust. We understand the unique needs of teens and their families. If your teen is struggling, we can help.
Parenting Classes
Parenting doesn’t have to be a struggle. We can help you become the confident and connected parent you want to be through parenting classes.
Helping Your Child Thrive: The Power of Play Therapy
Explore how play therapy boosts your child’s self-control and self-confidence while teaching empathy and responsibility. These positive changes not only benefit your child but also bring you closer, creating a happier family life.
Increased Self-Regulation
Child-centered play therapy fosters increased self-regulation, helping children manage their emotions and behaviors more effectively. This newfound self-control brings a sense of calm and stability to both the child and their parents, creating a calmer and more in-control family environment.
Increased Self-Esteem
In play therapy, children experience a significant boost in self-esteem, gaining a stronger sense of self-worth and confidence. This positive self-image benefits the child and enriches the parent-child relationship by fostering a more empowered and self-assured child.
Increased Empathy and Responsibility
Children discover the importance of empathy and responsibility in play therapy, learning that their actions impact others. This newfound understanding empowers them to make more thoughtful choices and navigate relationships with greater awareness and compassion.
Better Emotional Expression
Play therapy equips children with enhanced emotional expression, giving parents a clearer window into their child’s thoughts and emotions. This newfound ability to communicate empowers parents to understand better and support their child’s needs and feelings, strengthening the parent-child relationship.
