Services
Initial 15 Minute Consultation Call, Complimentary
Our first step in working together will be a brief initial phone call where you can give me an overview of what’s going on with your child/what services you’re looking for and ask me any questions you might have so we can confirm I’ll be a good fit before moving forward.
Individual Child Therapy, $145/50 minutes
During your child’s session, they will have 40 minutes to engage with a variety of toys and materials in the playroom that were chosen specifically to help them process and integrate their challenges.I primarily use a non-directive or child-centered approach, meaning your child is empowered to choose how their time in session is spent.
We will work with the nervous system activation that naturally arises through play, and in doing so your child will learn new regulation and communication strategies, ways of looking at themselves and their struggles, and ultimately integrate whatever it is that’s brought them to therapy.
The remaining 10 minutes are for a check-in/debrief between parent(s) and therapist.
Parent-Child Sessions, $155/50 minutes
While most children benefit from having their own time and space to work through their challenges, some children aren’t quite ready to separate from their parents and play independently with their therapist. If we determine this is the case for your child, I will teach you play therapy concepts and skills so you can be a full participant in the session with your child.
Parent Coaching $145/50 minutes or $36.25/15 minutes
Having worked with many parents and families from various walks of life over the years, I know that parenting can be one of life’s greatest joys and at the same time, feel like one of its most daunting challenges.Between concern about your child’s wellbeing and a culture that sets high expectations for parents yet provides minimal support, it can be easy to lose connection to your authentic parenting self.
My intention for parent coaching is to offer a nonjudgmental, collaborative space to explore parenting challenges big and small through a Synergetic Play Therapy lens–focusing on regulating your nervous system so you can offer co-regulation to your child in their difficult moments.
Much of our work will focus on shifting the parenting paradigm from rewards and consequences to strengthening the parent-child relationship. In the words of Dr. Dan Siegel, we'll focus on “connection before correction.”
Consult Calls $36.25/15 minutes
I am happy to speak with parents, school staff, other professionals, etc. outside of sessions in order to coordinate care for your child and support their therapy progress in other environments.
