When working with children, I will initially meet with you, the parent, separately. That gives us the opportunity to explore your son's story in detail, including your concerns for his well-being. We may discuss any behaviors, separation issues, or developmental challenges your child is facing to gain a better understanding of what your child is going through.
I will then meet with your child independently in a safe and nurturing environment to assess their individual needs. Using play therapy and experiential interaction exercises, I will develop a healing strategy that targets what your child truly needs to be successful.
In some cases, I may use EMDR therapy, which is a highly effective and non-intrusive means of relieving the effects of trauma and anxiety. In other cases, I may recommend incorporating family therapy and psychoeducational support for your child's needs to ensure sustainable results outside of the office. Regardless of your situation or your child's needs, early intervention can benefit your family and your child's health for years to come.
