Children express their emotional experiences and needs through creative methods using art and play.Â
Our Child Psychologists believe that it is important that we meet each child where they are at developmentally, without pushing too much. This allows each child to feel safe and to build trust their Psychologist as a new adult in their life, which will lead to further emotional expression. Our Child Psychologists work with children to help them understand what they are feeling, learn how to express these emotions in healthy ways (rather than aggressively or holding them in), and make meaning of their life experiences.
Using art, sandplay and play-based therapy helps adults connect with children, as we are speaking their language. It helps children feel heard, Â seen, and understood. Children learn that it is okay to address their fears, worries, and big emotions. We look forward to helping your little ones learn valuable therapeutic tools and coping skills!
