Child Therapy

We work with children, as well as their families, to support their growth and development in a caring and supportive environment. For children, “toys are their words and play is their language.” As such, treatment modalities include play and sandtray therapy for young and school-aged children. We believe parents play a large role in supporting the therapeutic process, and as such, we work to actively involve parents in their child’s treatment in ways that feel respectful to the child, while also collaboratively forming a team with parents.
