Child Psychologists and Child Therapists in Alvin, TX.

As a family therapist, I find it helpful to engage the entire family in the session. This may include parents, step-parents or grandparents that are acting as primary caretakers. During the session, all family members are encouraged to participate. I engage children who lack verbal skills through games and play. This reduces anxiety for the child and promotes a therapeutic connection. Using play as a means of getting parents and children to express their feelings can supplement talk therapy and may accelerate the progress toward client driven goals.

Young children can experience anxiety and depression just like adults do. My approach to helping young children (school age and up), is to help them learn better ways of dealing with anxiety and depression. Often with younger children I will use a very structured program to teach them skills to deal with anxiety, or give them specific tasks to change their depression or interact more productively with their peers. Sometimes I help parents communicate and understand their children better or teach parents how to do play therapy. A lot of my approach depends on the diagnostic interviews and what the parents and I can agree on being most helpful with a particular child.

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?

Sometimes people perceive children to be just "little adults". The truth is that in working with children, it is important to be able to recognize where they are developmentally; socially, intellectually, physically, emotionally. In working with children and teens, I strive to match them where they are developmentally, as well as speak their language - the language of play and movement. With the help of the herd of horses with whom I partner, along with the other animals at Red Dun Ranch, rapport is quickly established. By providing an emotionally safe and physically appealing location, children and teens develop the skills to grow, learn, and develop "stable relationships".

My approach to helping young children encompasses understanding their world and their unique perspectives. My goal with children is to allow them the space to explore their emotions and feelings in a safe environment without judgement. My residency through internship allowed me the privilege to work with children of trauma. That unique vantage point of exploration through play therapy and in direct play can help build better, healthy relationships.

GRIT Kids exists to allow parents or caregivers to aid their children in the work of self-awareness—at every developmental stage— to better understand themselves and the world around them. Simple behavioral management fails to develop the internal locus of control that is necessary for developing character and self-discipline. Forming a self-identity and learning to live with purpose is a necessary life skill for children to learn in order to live into their fullest self. GRIT Kids Coaches are trained to help you do the work of raising your child with intention so you can see that little person grow into all they are capable of.
