Child Therapy (Ages 5-12)
Parent-Child Art Therapy
This type of therapy involves both parent and child actively participating throughout the duration of the session. Rooted in developing deeper attachments and trust, the therapist facilitates joint art-making and skill-building. The Parent-Child team learns gentle strategies to work through common behavior concerns like tantrums, rigid agendas, and difficulty transitioning, and feel confident in using these skills at home.
Individual Child Art Therapy
Art therapy in a 1:1 setting can help children explore and express their big emotions, learn valuable coping skills to practice at home and school, and have a creative outlet that boosts self-esteem. Art and play are essential to development, providing an accessible way to communicate when words might be too much or not enough. Combine this with warmth and humor in a homey atmosphere, children can find understanding through art therapy.
