More and more parents whose child is being bullied in school or in the neighborhood. Many times, their child has difficulty expressing his or her feelings and will begin to manifest somatic complaints such as stomachaches, headaches, school refusal, and/or acting out in school. Play therapy is one way to address bullying. Play therapy provides a vehicle for communication that is non-threatening, non-intrusive, and sensitive to the developmental needs of children.

I work with clients ages 11 to 18. Often times therapists will not work with pre-teens or teens. I truly enjoy working with this population because this is a critical point in a person's life where support and guidance can have truly transformative effects on their entire lives. I have vast experience with this age range as I have worked at the Lippman Youth Shelter and PACE Center for Girls. I am able to develop a rapport and strong bond with pre-teens and teens that allows me to deliver highly effective counseling.

I believe children are very intelligent and know exactly what they need, but they often don't know how to communicate that. As a result, they may act out or in, create unhealthy symptoms, and begin to feel all alone. Through play therapy, I help children find their voice, learn to express feelings and identify needs appropriately, and learn healthy coping skills. I also work with the family, to set boundaries that support their child/children in the growth and progress they are making. As the child changes, so does the family. Growth happens with everyone, and life is never the same.

Small children aged 3 to 8 typically do not participate in family therapy because the vast majority of therapists consider such children too young to articulate their feelings or understand complex patterns of behavior. Butler thinks otherwise, as she perfects her skills using an approach called narrative therapy. Often described as “post-modern,” narrative therapy allows clients to put away old, tired versions of the stories they tell themselves [and everybody else] about their lives. Playing more to the clients’ strengths than their weaknesses, the approach urges clients to see themselves as much more than the presenting problem and to identify ways in which they are already taking steps

One of the most useful tools that I use in working with young children and their parents are behavior modification plans or also known as token economy. Behavior modification plans can be implemented with various problem areas a child may be facing. Some problem areas could be motivation, hygeine, ADHD, and defiance. These are to name only a few. I work closely with the family and child to see a productive outcome.

I've worked with young children from the age of 2 through teenage years. For several years I worked as a pre-school teacher, later as a therapist for the Children's Home Society dealing with adoption and foster care children, and spent years in a local middle school working with a multi-cultural adolescent population facing a multitude of situations. I've found art therapy to be effective, and our work often results in increased self-esteem.

Our jobs as parents is to be effective leaders and coaches to our children. This often means creating conditions that make it hard for them. We can expect that they will be uncomfortable. Our role is to teach them the tools, especially of emotional intelligence, for overcoming adversity. So often, we fail in this role, by trying to be popular with our children, by mistakenly assuming that their "self esteem" is more important than their ability to solve problems on their own and not only survive, but prosper in a difficulty world. We mustn't insist on being liked by our children. Just respected.

One of the things that makes our practice special is that we use the whole family as part of the process to help young children reach their goals. We have found that the outcome is faster and more successful when more members are involved to help the child reach his or her goals. We provide a relaxed and comfortable environment for children and their families to explore their issues and work together towards a more happy life.

Art Therapy is the perfect technique for working with children on a variety of issues and diagnosis. Children process and heal through play, art, and music. It is important to allow the child to explore art materials freely and listen to thier stories, it allows us to design directives that are specifically geared towards uncovering and explaining their experience.

Parenting can prove to be extremely challenging and is one of the only tasks in life where you are unable to receive a break. Therapy can help provide parents with the tools to better handle frustrating situations including: school refusal, tantrums, behavioral difficulties, bullying, setting limits, increasing positive behaviors, improving social behaviors, childhood depression, and anxiety.

An easy going and mindful approach to working with children and their families is very much a part of therapy. Children learn how to alter their problematic behaviors and emotions by learning how to effectively deal with their current life, school, and family situations in a more healthy way. Research is beginning to show that a mindfulness approach to dealing with children is yielding very positive results because of the present moment nature of the work with children. Children respond favorably to those who pay attention to them and unfavorably to those who don't (by crying out for attention). A mindfulness approach to teachings parents new parenting skills in a much more attentive manner!
