Expressive Play Therapy & Art Therapy
for kids with anxiety
CANTON, OHIO
Maybe they can't sleep because they're thinking about tomorrow. Or perhaps they’re breaking down every time they make a mistake. They may tell you they don't have any friends at school or that they don't want to go to school at all.
Whatever they’re experiencing, you’ve begun to notice the impact in every facet of their life:
They've stopped laughing as much
They've struggled to get out of bed
They've started getting into trouble at school
And your heart breaks watching them fight this internal battle.
Expressive Play Therapy can help!
It may feel impossible now, but your child can have a happy, healthy life. They can find the words for their feelings. They can face their fears.
And I can help them get there!
Expressive Play Therapy helps your child do 3 things:
-
Build their self-confidence
-
Learn how to express feelings
-
Create kid-friendly coping skills so they can live a happy, healthy, well-adjusted life.
I’ll help them through this process, tailoring each step to your child’s unique needs and circumstances. My approach to Child Therapy comes from a place of hope and empathy: enabling your child to have a better outlook on life and feel like they can accomplish anything!
Frequently Asked Questions​
​
Q: What are Expressive Play & Art Therapy sessions like?
​
A: After the initial assessment appointment, I work on building rapport with your child by playing or doing art with them so they can express how they're feeling when they cannot put words to their emotions. I use these techniques to allow them to feel at ease so they can talk about how they’re feeling once they learn they have someone who understands. Each session is one on one with the child, so it creates a safe space outside of parent rules to express themselves that they’ve never really known.
Q: How long does my child need to be in therapy?
​
A: It really depends on the needs of your child. Some therapy with children is short term if it’s a specific situation in life that's causing their anxiety or sadness. With something long-standing, like chronic anxiety, it could take a series of months.
Q: How do I know if Child Therapy will work for my child?
​
A: I have over 15+ years’ experience working with children struggling with anxiety and depression. I’ve devoted my entire career to developing ways to empower children so they can be in control of their lives. They will feel better about themselves and have a better path before them after treatment with me.
Q: How do we get started?
​
A: Fill out the contact form to set up a free consultation. I'll talk with you about your child's needs and together we'll decide if I'm the right fit. Then, we will schedule your first appointment to begin the therapy process.
