It is important to start therapy when the child is having behavioral problems. When the child is relieved of symptoms and distress, new patterns will be established. Healthy patterns promotes healthy development.
A comprehensive approach to child therapy focuses on returning the child and family to balance and wellness. This includes play therapy, and family therapy.
Consultation with the school system, and the pediatrician help create a comprehensive and therapeutic approach.
Play therapy is an effective modality of treatment to help the child process his or her struggles in the safe environment of the therapist's office. Play therapy helps the child work through feelings and conflict when it is difficult to use words.
Sand play therapy uses sand, water, and miniatures with freedom to do processing in the sand tray. Using this media in a safe and protected environment helps the child work through emotions and conflict. Sand play therapy facilitates healing and wellness.
Family therapy supports the child with the focus on restoring balance and wellness. In family therapy, parent-child interactive therapy, and filial play therapy, parents participate in the process of therapy.
