Child Therapy / Family Therapy

Raising Children can be very rewarding yet at times emotionally exhausting. Children and families are faced with many transitions that can be overwhelming or stressful. We work with both children and their parents to minimize stress turmoil and tension. Together we are able to work towards strengthening the family relationships and to have a greater understanding of which techniques work best when interacting with each member. Overcoming these challenges and focusing on positive and joyful interactions will allow children to regain self-esteem, confidence, problem-solving skills and a greater sense of self. Parents will experience a reduction in frustration, stress and feelings of futility.

Children experience a variety of transitions and challenges that are very common yet may be lacking in the ability to smoothly and effectively assume these new roles. Some common transitions consist of  new additions to the family or loss of a loved one, The onset of structured environments such as school, daycare or work, new expectations placed on them for behavior and self care, and emotions that are just too big for children to fully understand or be able to process.

We are also specialized in treating children with developmental and learning disabilities. Creativity and problem solving are great skills that can be used to help in overcoming barriers. We are able to provide parents with techniques and training on how to facilitate "Circles of Support"- opportunities for Inclusion (UMDNJ Designed Program).

Some techniques used when working with children consist of Play Therapy, Sand Tray Therapy, Therapeutic Games and Resources that assist in the development of life skills and personal development.
