FAQs

In a typical session, I create a safe and welcoming environment for your child, allowing them to express themselves through play, art, and conversation, depending on their age and comfort level. Each session is tailored to your child’s needs, using a range of therapeutic approaches, including play therapy, solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, art therapy, or eclectic methods based on your child’s specific concerns. Together, we’ll build trust and explore emotions in ways that feel natural and comfortable for your child.

The length of therapy varies depending on your child’s needs and goals. While some children benefit from short-term support for specific issues, others may require ongoing sessions for deeper, lasting progress. During our initial sessions, we’ll discuss your goals and outline a plan that includes an estimated timeline, which we can adjust as therapy progresses.

Yes, therapy can be highly effective for children with ADHD and attention deficits. Therapeutic approaches like play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution-focused therapy can help children develop better focus, self-regulation, and coping skills. Therapy also addresses the emotional and social challenges often associated with ADHD, helping children improve relationships, build confidence, and feel more in control. Together, we can work toward practical strategies that support your child’s growth and success.

Parental involvement is an important part of the process. I work closely with parents, providing coaching and strategies to reinforce progress at home. We’ll discuss what’s appropriate for you to know while respecting your child’s privacy. Additionally, I offer parenting workshops to help build supportive skills and deepen your understanding of your child’s emotional needs.

Play therapy is one of the approaches I use to help children express themselves and work through emotions in a natural, age-appropriate way. Through play, children can communicate feelings they might not yet have the words for. Along with play therapy, I incorporate solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, art therapy, and other eclectic methods based on each child’s unique needs and concerns. These approaches guide children toward self-awareness, problem-solving, and emotional resilience.
