We love working with kids because they keep it fun and interesting.  You never truly know what they are going to do or say.  We have found that children are still adaptable and curious and willing to try just about anything.  And teens are old enough to really talk to, but young enough to not be immobilized in their ways.  We love getting creative with kids and working with them to think outside the box and come up with a treatment plan together that gets us where we need to go.

We use a combination of play therapy and talk therapy with all our clients, even the teens! It's exciting to watch a client get lost in a painting, or explore new possibilities in the sand tray, or just sit and get down to business about what's really going on cuddled up in the safety of a cushy couch surrounded by pillows.  Sometimes we play games to distract enough to let the true problems come out.  Sometimes we do silly breathing exercises to truly learn how to do a coping skill well.  Sometimes we just color and practice being mindful in the quiet.  If you have questions about the process or want to know more about a certain approach, please feel free to ask.  Maybe we can color a mandala together while we chat.
