Therapy For Children And Adolscents

Service Description

Understanding the unique needs of our younger clients, we offer therapeutic services specifically designed to help children and adolescents. Given that younger clients frequently have difficulty putting their feelings into words, children require therapists who understand and specialise in their developmental and emotional needs. Therapy with children and adolescents can take a variety of forms. Frequently our therapists use play and art therapy, which rely upon using the language of a child’s imaginary play to provide a greater understanding of the young client’s emotions. Adolescents will often engage in more traditional “talk therapy,” but specialised techniques may be used to help create an easier way for them to relate to the therapist. Additionally, therapists will also work in collaboration with the child’s parents, gathering relevant information and suggesting possible behaviour interventions at home. As always, if additional services such as medication or further evaluations are needed, we offer appropriate referrals.
