Strides in Psychotherapy
Psychologist, PSY.D.
Usually, when people think about psychotherapy, they imagine sitting on a couch in an office talking to a therapist about their problems. This style of therapy works just fine for many adults and adolescents. However, most younger children express themselves better through play than through words—for them, play is a primary method of communication. Even very bright and highly verbal children may find it difficult to talk about situations when strong feelings are involved. This is why they might shrug their shoulders, refuse to answer or say “I don’t know” when asked what is wrong. They might also “act out” or try to communicate to you through their behavior rather than through words, and sometimes these behaviors can get them into trouble at home or at school or be misunderstood by those around them. In addition, children often find it hard to sit still and talk for 45 minutes in a row, and they enjoy coming to therapy much more when play is a part of the equation.

Inspired Hope
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
As a high school teacher for over twenty years, a mother of four teens, and an In Home Clinician working with children and adolescents for five years, I like to say that I speak fluent teen. These formative years are met with some many obstacles; mentally, physically, academically, and personally. Navigating one's way during this time can be confusing, and we all know that "parents just don't understand." I start by building rapport and helping your child to acknowledge their struggles and then we work together to find ways to overcome them in a supportive and understanding space.
