Psychotherapy

Services

Our treatment approach is eclectic and tailored to the individual needs of clients and families. We have training in a variety of evidenced based treatments enabling us to work with a range of clients including the Neurodivergent. Neurodiversity is a concept where neurological differences (differences in the brain) are to be recognized and respected as any other human variation. Neurodiversity can help families frame challenges as differences, rather than as deficits. Nuerodivergence includes but is not limited to ADHD, Autism, learning disabilities, and developmental disabilities.

In addition to our work with Neurodivergent children and families, we are also here to provide help in managing anxiety, depression, and life transitions. We offer individual therapy for children and young adults as well as support for parents and caregivers.

Treatment Approaches

Play Therapy

Play therapy utilizes play which is children's natural medium of expression, to help children express their feelings. At the Sensory Space, therapists use play sessions to observe and gain insights into a child’s world. The therapist helps the child explore their emotions and build confidence.

The Association for Play Therapy (APT) defines play therapy as "the systematic use of a theoretical model to establish an interpersonal process wherein trained play therapists use the therapeutic powers of play to help clients prevent or resolve psychosocial difficulties and achieve optimal growth and development."

AutPlay Therapy

AutPlay® Therapy was created by Dr. Robert Jason Grant and is an integrative family play therapy approach to help address the mental health needs of autistic and Neurodivergent children (ages 3-18), including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, social anxiety, sensory regulation, developmental and physical disabilities.

Yoga and Mindfulness

Yoga teaches children mindfulness techniques to bring them back to the present moment. Through yoga kids learn to understand their bodies and themselves. Yoga can help children regulate their bodies when they are managing challenging emotions. Children can develop mental and physical focus and increased self-esteem.
