What we are all going through now is very hard! Life has changed, and our children and families need extra support.
Our priority now is our children’s mental health. Please reach out to me, as a child and family psychotherapist, I can help your kids feel better! I incorporate play-talk therapy and feelings games for:
1) Feelings Groups on Zoom of 3-4 kids who are friends,
2) Online Sessions for Parents and Kids to help with all the feelings right now,
3) Online Sessions for parents and kids of younger ages
4) Online Groups of 3-4 teens who are friends.
5) Feelings Groups on Zoom in the classroom for all ages
6) Individual sessions for Kids-Teens- Adults
The sessions are fun and supportive as well as helpful emotionally.Parents have reported that playing feelings games and talking -drawing feelings on zoom is helping a lot to improve their child’s -teen and families reactions to the trauma of isolation, illness and life in general.
The kids have said they’re having a great time and they feel so much better.
