Play Therapy

As a parent, you will play a crucial role in every phase of your child’s play therapy which typically proceeds through several phases. During the consultation call, we will begin discussing the presenting issues and by completing all the online intake forms prior to your child’s appointment we will be off to a great start!

During the initial session, you and your child will participate in an intake interview and pre-treatment assessment. This will allow us to get a solid sense of his/her experience of the problems and to make sure your child feels fully engaged in the treatment process right from the beginning. Your child may be asked to complete a variety of pre-treatment measures ranging from questionnaires, to drawings, to more formal testing.  We will observe and actively listen to your child which will provide us with additional information about his/her difficulties and the best ways to go about treating them. Assessments can also be very useful in helping  us evaluate the progress during the treatment process.

We will check in with you at the beginning of each session to discuss progress and areas that need more attention.  We will discuss general and vital information with you, but confidentiality with your child is highly respected.  Also, it is imperative for you to remain supportive of your child which will aid in faster success.

The Duration of the Sessions 

The sessions are preferably weekly, unless you state a preference otherwise. Sessions are 50 minutes. The sessions are at the child’s pace and there is no average when it comes to how long we will see an individual. 

Please schedule a complimentary phone consultation, which will allow us the opportunity to explore how working together can help your child to progress and the reach the desired the goals.
