Individual Therapy

I use a combination of nondirective and directive play approaches, tailoring therapy to each individual client. For example, a session with a 5 year old will be more nondirective whereas a session with a 12 year old would include more direct play activities such as games and expressive art prompts.

Parent Child Interaction Therapy

Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is a very structured parent child therapy for children 3-7. PCIT can be modified to fit toddlers as well as children a little older than 7. PCIT was developed by Sheila Eyeberg originally for children with excessive and problematic external behaviors (i.e. tantrums, aggression). It is considered an evidenced based intervention with decades of research to back it up. Extensive research has shown that PCIT is also helpful for children with internal issues (i.e. anxiety), autism, and children in foster care. It is a highly structured therapy with two phases:

Child Directed Intervention: Parents learn play skills that help enhance their relationship with their child and helps to decrease issues that the child may be struggling with or problems within the parent child relationship.

Parent Directed Intervention: Parents learn and practice a specific technique for setting limits which helps the child increase acceptance of limits set.
