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.

Brittany Rine
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHCA
I work with female identifying children and adolescents. The issues that children and adolescents face are real challenges and deserve to be recognized as such. I like to implement art and play into my sessions with children and adolescents. I enjoy hearing about the client's hobbies and interests in an effort to see the world through their lens. We get creative on how to integrate these hobbies and interests into our sessions because although talking is great, that is not the only way to heal.
