 Many children experience worries and fears, stress about school or peer relationships, or have difficulty with changes or transitions. For some children, identifying feelings and the behaviors that accompany them can be hard to manage. Play therapy can help by providing opportunities for choice and control but with appropriate limit setting, practice of relational skills, and development of confidence and self-esteem. 

 Adolescence can also be a time of worries, fears, difficulty with school stress and peer relationships. For teens, counseling can be a space to develop their voice and gain some perspective about who they are and what they need. Despite a growing want for independence, changes and transitions can be a challenge to navigate. Outside of friendships and family relationships, the relationship with a counselor, can be a unique opportunity to explore patterns, behaviors, thoughts, feelings, hopes, frustrations, and the big feelings that teens carry. 

 For young children, sometimes the best way to support their emotional, social, or behavioral needs is through play with their caregiver. A strong bond, or secure attachment to caregivers, is considered an essential component of a child’s wellbeing. Sometimes unwanted behaviors are a symptom of an unmet need. You absolutely know your child best, and through skills taught in Child-Parent Relationship therapy, you are able to learn how to facilitate therapeutic play that addresses your child’s needs and helps them to express them.
