I am a registered play therapist and work with children who have trouble managing their emotions, whether that is through outward expressions of temper tantrums all the way to inward expressions of withdrawing from others.
We currently have 2 new child therapists that have after school availability. Is it difficult to communicate with your child? Does your child have moments when their emotions take over and have a meltdown? Is your child withdrawn and have difficulty interacting with other children? Does your child have unpredictable reactions to simple requests or situations? Would you like to be able to comfort your child when they appear upset?

I understand that children and adolescents see the world in a unique way, and therefore, need specialized, client-centered treatment to help them express themselves and communicate in an age and developmentally appropriate way.
I work with young children, adolescents, and families who are struggling with behavioral challenges, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, executive functioning, trauma, ADHD, social skills, and family transitions. I believe that forming a strong judgement-free partnership is the basis for positive change and that therapy, although challenging at times, should be engaging and fun. I also recognize that treatment is not a “cookie-cutter” solution and prioritize working together to determine what is best for each individual client.
