Child and Family Therapy
Child and Family Therapy
My focus in therapy begins by hearing about your relationship with your child, and offering guidance to build up healthy interactions and relationships. Examples of what therapy may include:
Play based activity sessions curated to highlight connections and increase understanding between caregiver and child.
Parenting & co-parenting sessions to implement changes or gain new understanding of your child responses and your own responses.
Planning and emotional support for life changes such as moving homes, a new baby, introduction of a new teacher or school, deployment, loss through death or separation from a caregiver, or divorce.
Maternal Support
Maternal Support
Examples of what we might focus on:
Understanding and reacting to baby's signals, ways to increase attachment and bonding with baby.
Adjustment to changing or balancing roles, identity and responsibilities as mother, father, partner, or new caregiver.
Support and strategies for new challenges such as medically fragile babies, caring for baby after or during ongoing medical intervention, parental anxiety, and committing to self-care.
Processing experiences including challenges in fertility, IVF/IUI, infant loss, a "near miss" or life threatening delivery.
Teachers and Caregivers
Teachers and Caregivers
Teachers and caregivers need and deserve a special kind of support. I keep these roles in mind and at a parent's request I welcome an additional caregiver's participation in therapy. The involvement of a child's loved and trusted caregivers in the therapeutic relationship has the potential to enhance the outcomes for very young children and for much longer than a therapist or specific treatment. These caregivers might include:
Teachers & center directors
Extended family such as grandparents or kinship caregivers
Foster parents, temporary guardians
One-on-one providers, specialized services and health care providers
Nannies and Au Pairs
