Therapy for children and youth
Some of our therapists specialize on working with children and can work with parents to identify how best to involve them in the process. Parental involvement can take many forms, from being part of the direct work with the child, to being an observer and supporter, being a partner in struggling with a problem in the backdrop of daily life, or simply being an emotional support who sits in the waiting room while the child works with the therapist.
We accept children from about 6 years of age. However, when making an appointment, we work with the parents to identify the best form of cooperation and it may happen that instead of child therapy we may decide that family therapy or couples therapy or even individual support for parents is a better fit.
In our therapeutic work with children we use aids such as therapy cards, toys, blocks, sand, crayons etc. which allow for forms of expression beyond speech.
