Making the decision to get help for yourself or your child is not always easy. I offer a free no-pressure, supportive telephone consultation to help you decide if I am the right therapist for your child.
I offer two different types of therapy, depending on the needs of your child. You can read more about them here.
Play therapy makes a difference. Play is an enjoyable, fun activity that elevates our spirits and brightens our outlook on life. Play relieves feelings of stress and boredom and, most importantly, helps us express ourselves. Play therapy refers to a large number of treatment methods, all applying the therapeutic benefits of play. Play therapy helps children to address and resolve their own problems and builds on the natural way that children learn about themselves and their relationships in the world around them. The practice of play therapy requires extensive, specialized education, training and experience.
PCIT is an evidence-based treatment for children ages 3-7 with behavioral and emotional challenges. Treatment involves at least one parent or caregiver and the child.
In the first phase of PCIT, I teach and coach the parent in strategies for increasing warmth and connection in the relationship with the child.
In phase 2, parents learn how to most effectively manage their child's challenging behaviors in a calm and confident manner.
Sessions are held weekly either in-person in my office or by telehealth (Zoom). The full treatment lasts 12-20 weeks.
