Emotional Health Services 

When we first start working together, we will have a conversation regarding how I may be able to support your child and your family.

 

Together, we will decide if we will start with individual child therapy, family therapy, parent coaching, individual adult therapy, or a combination of therapies.

 

At that time, I will also recommend a model, or models, of therapy based on your needs.

I am certified in a variety of models, see below to get an idea of what some of them entail. 

Child & Family Therapy

Child Centered Play Therapy (CCPT)

Child-Centered Play Therapy is a compassionate and evidence-based approach that helps children express their emotions, explore their experiences, and navigate challenges—all through the natural language of play. This therapeutic model provides a safe and supportive environment where children are free to lead their play while the therapist gently guides and supports their emotional growth and self-understanding.

Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy
(TF-CBT)

TF-CBT is an evidence-based treatment for children and adolescents, ages 3 to 18 impacted by trauma. The model helps alleviate emotional problems such as symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety, or depression related to traumatic life events. It can be used with children and adolescents who have experienced a single trauma or multiple traumas in their lives.

Child Parent Psychotherapy
(CPP)

CPP is an evidenced-based treatment for children aged 0-5 who have experienced at least one traumatic event. The treatment is based in attachment theory but also integrates psychodynamic, developmental, trauma, social learning, and cognitive behavioral theories. Therapeutic sessions include the child and primary caregiver. The goal of CPP is to strengthen the relationship between a child and their caregiver as a way to heal and increase safety and security. 

Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction
(MBSR)

MBSR can be a powerful tool for supporting children and families in navigating life’s challenges. By incorporating mindfulness practices like breathing exercises, body awareness, and mindful listening, therapists help children and families build skills to manage stress, regulate emotions, and enhance their connections with one another.With children, MBSR techniques are adapted to be playful and age-appropriate, teaching them to identify and express emotions, stay grounded, and develop resilience. For families, mindfulness practices can foster improved communication, reduce tension, and create shared moments of presence and calm.

Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)

PCIT is an evidence-based treatment for young children with behavioral problems such as hitting, biting, yelling, refusing to do things, running away, and others. It is a two phase model done with the child and primary caregiver together. The phases focus on building trust and attachment through play and learning how to effectively manage disruptive behavior.
