Healing from Childhood Trauma
Has your child experienced a trauma that has left them not feeling or behaving like they normally do?
Your child and I will work together at your child’s pace in order to help your child begin to feel safe again in their bodies and in the world–which is essential to trauma recovery. After safety is established, we can work on the other goals that we set in order to help your child effectively heal from trauma.
Working through Issues of Adjustment
Has your child recently experienced a change–big or small– and now you can see that they are just not coping well?
If after about 3-4 weeks, you’re finding that your child continues to be struggling to adjust, then it may be time to get some help. I will work with your child in therapy to help them to uncover and work through their thoughts and feelings about the change. I will also work with you as their caregiver to help you as you continue to support your child. Together, we will help your child feel better about themselves and more confident about the future.
Processing Grief in Children
Has there been a death in your family, and you’d like your child to receive some extra support?
Grief is a powerful emotion and some people need the additional support of a caring and empathetic therapist. It would be my honor to support and guide your child through their grief journey and help your child work through their feelings in a safe and meaningful way.
Overcoming Childhood Abandonment
Has your spouse or partner left you and your child, and now you’re left picking up the pieces? Or maybe your ex goes in and out of your child’s life?
Children feel a variety of emotions when a parent loses contact– no matter what the cause. Kids will often draw their own conclusions about why their parent left them, and these conclusions can be utterly devastating to your child’s self-esteem.
In my work with your child, we will try to uncover the negative thoughts and feelings that they have, and help them to realize how lovable and worthwhile they are.
