Affirming Autism
You have started noticing your child is a little behind with some milestones. Maybe it is speech development. Maybe your child seems to struggle with playing with other children. Maybe you notice differences in the way your child experiences the world. Maybe your child holds their ears every time they hear something loud. Maybe they turn off the lights at home. Maybe they hate the tag on their clothes. Maybe they struggle with transitions - like really struggle.
Explaining Play Therapy
Parents often feel at a loss of how to explain who a counselor is. It is helpful to tell your child where they are coming to give them a chance to prepare their mind.
Play Therapy
As a parent, I know it can be difficult to know if you can trust a provider. You want the best for your child. You also know you need help. I join with families to create trust and support. You are the expert in your child. In play, children express their problem and concerns as well as practice skills they need to improve.
