It can be the most heart wrenching experience to watch your child struggle through tough emotions and mental health issues. Many parents can feel they are at a loss on how to help their child. In meeting with children, I have found that creating a predictable, safe space and relationship is crucial in them benefitting from therapy. I also collaborate with the parents in providing care that the child needs, as I believe the parents play the most important part in their child's healing and growth.

I aim to provide all my clients with the space to explore their underlying feelings, thoughts, and behaviors so that they can engage in change.

It’s like playing the same part in the same play on the same stage day after day. A key component in this play is often our children’s behavioral, emotional and leaning difficulties that are so disruptive or dysfunctional - all we want to do is stop it. As pare....

Young children require speciality care. Traditional talk therapy is usually not approach. Most often when working with young children and sometimes even pre-teens and teens, physical interaction is required. This can be accomplished through games or special modalities such as Sand Tray therapy. The clinicians at CHRIS who work with young children infuse play and arts/crafts in the work they do as they help children tell the stories of what is bothering them.
