If you’re worried about your child’s behaviors and you’ve started looking at counseling, it’s time. All children can benefit from play therapy, even kids who are showing very developmentally appropriate behaviors. Play therapy helps to accelerate the child’s development of appropriate social and emotional skills, such as understanding and managing emotions, dealing with challenges and frustrations, solving problems, interacting socially, and many other skills.
If your child is experiencing any of the challenges described below, I would suggest that you call me to get an appointment set up so that we can start working together to help your child to overcome these challenge and return to a more enjoyable childhood (for both of you!).
Encompass Mental Health provides counseling to children and their families in the forms of individual play therapy, sibling play therapy, family play therapy, family therapy, and even parenting therapy or parent coaching to improve the parents’ ability to help their children through whatever struggles they are facing.
