Core Approaches Utilized
The individual therapy process is conducted through the integration of various evidence-based and play-based approaches, tailored to the child’s needs:
Play Therapy and Storytelling Therapy: Supporting emotional expression, insight, and alternative coping skills through symbolic play and stories.
Floortime (DIR): Strengthening joint attention and problem-solving skills through play-based interactions that center on relational needs.
Holistic Approach: Utilizing a comprehensive perspective that considers the child alongside their family, school, and social environment.
