About Therapy
Individuals:
If you're not sure what to expect in therapy and you are a little apprehensive, you aren't alone. My goal is for you to feel comfortable and safe to explore what you are experiencing. We will get to know each other and together we will explore the root of what you are experiencing. I will share techniques to help you manage your thoughts and begin experiencing a more fulfilling life.
Children:
In the first session, I will meet with you and your child together for a few minutes which I find makes children more comfortable. Then your child and I will continue the session by playing games while we get to know each other. I will spend a lot of time listening to your child explain what they might be struggling with. I always explain to children that my job is to help give them a tool box full of tools for life. This makes sense to kids and they are recepetive to learning new skills while we play. At the end of the session I meet with the parent and child again for a few minutes. Subsequent sessions will have a similar format depending on your childs age and the issues they are working on.
