Sometimes parenting our children takes a village and a licensed mental health provider. But how do parents know what type of therapy is needed?  Child therapy is based on the developmental age of a child and the reason for seeking therapy.  I am here to share the difference between PCIT and Play Therapy, the two most common therapies for children and adolescents.  Together with the therapist, parents can decide what therapeutic intervention is best.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy is an evidence-based practice shown to be effective for children, teens, and adults.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy focuses on the present and the future. It helps children realize they have control over their behaviors.

When things go wrong, kids can easily fall into negative self-talk. We all have the tendency to overreact and feel overwhelmed when things don’t go our way.

Anxiety is a normal part of childhood, but anxiety disorders can cause kids to perform poorly in school, activities and miss out on social experiences.

Do you have a child with anxiety? Has your child not wanted to get out of the car for an activity, such as a sport or birthday party? Has your child ever shared he/she is scared to sleep alone?

Co-parenting is a term used to describe the situation when children are parented by two individuals who are no longer in a marital or romantic relationship with one another.

It can be difficult distinguishing the difference between a meltdown and a tantrum when looking at an upset child, but it’s important to know they are not the same.

If you’ve heard about safe spaces before, chances are you know of the flak they’ve received. Some folks believe that”

Understanding a child’s behavior can be difficult sometimes. All children have trouble from time to time with emotions, but unlike adults, children are not as good at regulating their emotions.

Children and parents can have bad days, but if noticeable changes in mood are happening often, there could be an underlying mental health issue.

Social and emotional learning, which previously have shown immediate improvements in mental health, social skills, and academic achievement, continue to benefit students for months and even years to come.”
