You’re considering counseling for your child, and PLAY THERAPY is a great option.
Play therapists utilize play as a means of communication and expression for kids. For younger kids who have difficulty expressing themselves, play therapy allows them to explore and work through their feelings, experiences and challenges in a safe and supportive environment.
CBT teaches kids how their thoughts impact their feelings and influence their behaviors. Kids who learn how to reframe their negative thoughts with positive ones can increase their self-esteem, experience less anxiety, build confidence and form more authentic relationships with peers and adults
DBT teaches kids how to better manage their emotions, increase their tolerance to challenging situations, self-advocate and resolve conflict in a more positive way.
