Child Psychotherapy

This service integrates systems such as family, school, County Jobs and Family
Services, and treats the whole child within the context of the family situation.

Play Therapy uses a theoretical model to establish an interpersonal process
wherein therapists use the therapeutic powers of play to help clients prevent or
resolve psychosocial challenges and achieve optimal growth and development.

 

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy’s approach is that thoughts cause feelings and
behaviors, not external things, like people and events. An individual can change the way he/she thinks to feel/act better, even if the situation does not change.

 

Trauma Focused - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy treats trauma related symptoms
that children and adolescents may experience. This treatment uses interventions
that include psychoeducation about trauma, relaxation and stress management
skills for child and parent and trauma narration. Treatment also incorporates
parent and child sessions.

 

Parent - Child Interactive Therapy uses a family-centered approach which uses coaching from a therapist during treatment for the child and the parent. The parent and child relationship improves through treatment. Positive interaction and effective discipline are encouraged.
