Because Talking Only Goes So Far.
Specializations with Youth Include:
-
Acute and Chronic Illness
An illness often has a significant impact on mental health. Frequent hospitalizations, treatment, and life disruption can create stress, conflict, or anxiety. Art therapy can help support children in coping and processing these experiences.
-
Siblings of Sick Children
“Well children” or sometimes called “glass children”, siblings of sick children often have specific needs that may go unseen. Typically, they are well-behaved yet holding many emotions. Therapy can help siblings process and cope.
-
Anxiety & Worry
Children and teens often communicate through behavior - not words - to express how they are feeling. Anxiety can present as stomachaches, tantrums, people pleasing, or new fears. Therapy can help your child gain effective tools.
