Parenting

Parenting can be challenging, and sometimes extra support is helpful when addressing specific issues with your children. Amanda works with parents to navigate a wide range of concerns, offering guidance on managing behaviors and fostering a stronger, more satisfying relationship with your child.

Play Therapy

Play therapy is based on the understanding that children do not communicate in the same way as adults. Through play, children express what they know, feel, and experience. Play therapy provides a safe and supportive environment for children to process their emotions and experiences with a trusted adult. This therapeutic approach helps promote self-esteem, responsibility, decision-making, independence, and emotional regulation. While play therapy is commonly used for children ages 5 to 10, it can be adapted for clients of all ages.

Children start play therapy for a number of reasons:

• Behavioral concerns
• Concerns related to sleep, eating, energy, and mood
• Trauma (including sexual, emotional, or physical)
• Problems related to bowel movements or urination
• Social concerns
• Anger management
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Divorce, Separation, or disruption of the household

Couples counseling is available for couples who are dating, engaged, married, or in a domestic partnership. Together, you and Amanda will develop a treatment plan tailored to your relationship’s unique needs. Counseling focuses on building skills to enhance relationship satisfaction, improve communication, and strengthen your connection with one another.

Family Therapy

Families can face challenges together, and sometimes it’s beneficial for all members to participate in therapy to foster healthy relationships and growth. Depending on the ages of those involved, a variety of activities and therapeutic methods are used to meet the family’s unique goals and needs.
