Child Therapy in Greater Boston 02144
Child therapy
Through the act of drawing, playing, acting, or painting, children can practice expressing and managing their thoughts and feelings. Therapists can provide the positive reinforcement and praise that will increase healthy coping mechanisms.
Children often respond to expressive techniques and activities designed with their developmental stage in mind. Frequently they do not respond well to traditional talk therapy. It is unrealistic to assume children can sit still and respond to direct and personal questions throughout the duration of their treatment session.
At Back to Good counseling we understand the unique requirements around connecting with children and provide services tailored to their specific needs. We have clinicians trained in play therapy, art therapy, and various somatic interventions. Therapists meet individually with a child or they can include parents as part of the treatment session. Sometimes parents will meet with a therapist for coaching around strategies they can use at home to promote healthy interactions and behavior.
