Services
Individual Therapy
Tailored therapy sessions for children and adolescents addressing mood disorders, anxiety, and behavioral challenges. Our approach integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques and trauma-informed care to foster emotional regulation and resilience. Sessions last 50-80 minutes, focusing on personalized goal-setting and progress tracking.
Family Therapy
Specialized interventions to improve communication and resolve conflicts within families. Using systemic approaches, we address blended family dynamics, post-adoption adjustment, and intergenerational challenges. Sessions emphasize collaborative problem-solving and strengthening relational bonds through structured therapeutic activities.
Play Therapy
Non-directive and directive play techniques for children struggling with verbal expression. Utilizing toys and creative activities, this modality helps children process emotions, develop social skills, and overcome trauma. Sessions incorporate Theraplay techniques to enhance parent-child attachment and emotional security.
DBT Therapy
Skills-based group and individual therapy targeting emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Designed for teens and adolescents, this evidence-based program reduces self-harming behaviors and improves coping strategies through structured skill-building exercises and weekly progress assessments.
Theraplay Sessions
Interactive therapy focusing on repairing family relationships through guided play activities. Based on attachment theory, this approach addresses trauma-related behaviors by fostering trust and emotional connection. Sessions include structured games to improve impulse control and social interaction skills.
