Services
Individual psychotherapy services involve a confidential and collaborative therapeutic relationship between a trained mental health professional and a client, aimed at addressing emotional, psychological, and behavioral challenges. Through regular one-on-one sessions, clients explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe and supportive environment, working towards gaining insight, coping skills, and personal growth. Therapists employ various evidence-based approaches tailored to the client's unique needs, helping them navigate and overcome difficulties, enhance self-awareness, manage stress, improve relationships, and foster positive mental well-being.
Play therapy is a therapeutic approach primarily used with children to help them express their emotions, communicate their feelings, and resolve psychological and emotional challenges through play and creative activities. Play is a natural medium through which children communicate, explore, and make sense of their world. In play therapy, trained therapists provide a safe and supportive environment where children can engage in various types of play, such as using toys, art materials, and role-playing scenarios, to express their thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
Play therapy is typically tailored to the individual needs and preferences of the child. Therapists might use various techniques, such as storytelling, puppetry, art, sand tray play, and structured games, to engage children and facilitate their emotional growth and healing. This approach acknowledges that children have their own unique ways of understanding and communicating their feelings, and play therapy provides a platform for them to do so in a supportive and therapeutic context.
AutPlay, viewed through a neurodiversity affirming lens, celebrates and respects the diverse ways in which autistic individuals engage with the world. It recognizes that autism is a natural variation of human neurology, and AutPlay embraces and supports the individual's unique strengths, interests, and modes of communication. Guided by the principles of acceptance and understanding, AutPlay encourages self-expression, fosters autonomy, and values sensory experiences, promoting a holistic approach to development and well-being that honors the richness of neurodiverse identities.
