Children struggle with the stresses and hurts of life just like the rest of us. Often the recipients of collateral damage, they are dealing with very confusing and upsetting life events that need to be made sense of. Because they are cute and they giggle and play in the backyard, we forget that they are hurting from the problems in their lives that they just don't understand. So with children, we have to meet them where they are and talk their language. The language of children is playing and they often have a lot to say, if we can only listen to their stories and concerns. Play therapy offers children their voice with someone who is listening. We want to help.

Many times, child therapists overdo the family system in their quest to seek effective solutions for emotional, learning or behavioral concerns with young children. And many times doctors overpathologize issues that shouldn’t be medicated necessarily. This leaves parents wondering what is the best route for their child? Introducing brainwave optimization technology. A fast, effective, natural, and less expensive way to allow your child's brain to make the optimizing changes it desires to make---on its own! Without any external force, opinion, medication, diagnostic, etc. Contact kevin@kevinflemingphd.com or 877-606-6161.

Currently there are very few providers supporting who we lovingly call "the littles" of our community. This is the 10 and under demographic. Children start to experience stressors earlier and earlier and as the veil of childhood innocence falls they need help coping. Connecting with a professional early on can help out littles make sense of the world. We also provide family and parental coaching to handle challenging behaviors. We incorporate play, art, and music into our work.

When I work with kids. I create a safe space for them to explore, feel in control, and build skills. I include parents with regular communication and at home techniques when needed. For working with children, I like to incorporate play and art as it makes therapeutic concepts and learning more accessible and relatable. I am comfortable using play therapy techniques without extending past my scope of practice. Art embraces visual, kinesthetic, and sensory parts of the brain which kids are more in tuned with, in comparison to adults. I adjust my language and use metaphors to make therapy age-appropriate.

It is easy to forget that children are people with their own complex worlds and emotional responses. In recent years, I have seen children struggle more and more with depression, anxiety, anger, their relationships with their peers and adults in their lives. I use varying approaches when working with children and adolescents, from traditional talk therapy to creative arts therapy. It is important to make therapy feel valued by the child and child and building a relationship is essential to providing good care. Part of this process is psychoeducational, with parents, in order to support the whole environment.

As a certified child centered play therapist, I am trained and enjoy working with children ages 3 and up. Using play therapy for children is like talk therapy for adults.. it is the best way children have to communicate their struggles and work through their feelings. A critical part of working with children is keeping communication going with you, the parent. Part of my treatment approach includes regularly scheduled consultations with you. I have designated play therapy space at my Syracuse and Rome offices, and look forward to talking with you about your child.
