Counseling for Children
Counseling with children involves play, especially with children under the age of seven. Play is the language of children and it is the means that they work through what is troubling them. Child Centered Play Therapy using the model from the University of North Texas is used http://cpt.unt.edu.
Strengthening attachment relationships for children is of primary importance in their health development. Parents may expect to be involved in their child’s therapy because it is those primary relationships that predict the future success of children.
Other evidence based practices that are used with children include sand tray therapy that allows children and adults to explore what is happening in their life. Information about this may be obtained from http://www.sandtraytherapyinstitute.com Narrative therapy helps children to create a coherent story about their life experiences so that life may feel safe and predictable again. Please feel free to call Tranquility Health for more information if you are considering bringing your child to therapy.
