You learn to help, respond and realize you and your child are becoming more calm and secure.
Hi, I am Dr Julia, director of Creative Therapies. Over thirty years, I have developed and fine-tuned a unique, whole- child approach to child therapy. After your consultation, initial parent intake and goal setting, your child will enter therapy. Whether your child plays, draws, or talks, the challenges will present for healing, usually in the very first session, and often different from what the parents identified. Your child will play, resolve and master challenges. And, unlike traditional child therapy, you will participate in weekly phone discussions, including assignments, techniques and answers to your questions and concerns.

I believe that through this relationship and with respectful collaboration from the child's support network, positive changes in behavior and mood can be achieved.
Throughout childhood, children express themselves much better through play than by talking. The process of play therapy creates an environment where children do not have to talk directly about their sadness, anxieties, worries, or problems. Instead, children express themselves symbolically through their play; they communicate their conscious and unconscious feelings and experiences and in doing so, see that difficult feelings and memories become less intense and that they are able to work through and find solutions to their problems.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Greenwich, CT provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.

Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time, while the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in Greenwich build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
