My Approach
I get to meet each child, teen, and young adult where they are at and tailor my approach for their age, individual needs and goals.
I use a combination of play, CBT, and DBT to inform each session.
PLAY
Games - Art - Crafts - Imaginative
Kids communicate through play when they don't have the words. I use play to interpret their needs, build upon their strengths, and when helpful, incorporate coping skills along the way.
CBT
Cognitive Behavior Therapy
A process of gaining self awareness and learning how thoughts, feelings, and actions are all connected.
Involves learning helpful skills and finding tools to help manage emotions and improve mood.
DBT
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Used to process and learn from intense emotions, impulsive behaviors, and create fulfilling relationships.
Involves a focus on acceptance and creating positive change.
