Child or Adolescent Counseling

Therapy with children and adolescents is very different from adult therapy. My goal is to help your child or teen learn ways to express their needs and feelings appropriately in your family and with their friends. Techniques such as Play Therapy for children age three to about age ten, Sandplay and expressive arts for children and teens are offered to assist with expressing their feelings. I have a wooden tray with clean, fine sand inside. I have shelves with miniature toys and figures representing various themes in life. Children and teens are invited to create their own world in the tray using the miniatures. Often parents are invited to participate with their child. Children use the sand tray to make pictures and tell stories which may represent their inner emotional world. See Also: What To Expect
