As a child counselor, it's important to create a safe and welcoming environment for young clients. Building trust and rapport is crucial in helping them feel comfortable discussing their thoughts and feelings. It's also important to utilize age-appropriate therapeutic techniques and activities that can help children understand and express their emotions in a healthy way. Understanding developmental stages and being sensitive to cultural and family dynamics are also key aspects of my approach when working with families, teens, and children.
I utilize evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help children process and recover from traumatic experiences, and I work with families to provide support and guidance. Establishing a sense of safety and trust are fundamental in helping children overcome trauma, and I am dedicated to empowering young clients to thrive despite their past experiences.
I appreciate your interest in seeking counseling services for your child. Please feel free to contact me directly to discuss how we can begin the counseling process. I look forward to potentially working with you and your child to provide the support and assistance needed.
