Services
Play Therapy
Play therapy utilizes child-directed activities to help young clients express emotions and process experiences. Our therapists observe play patterns to identify emotional needs while guiding children toward healing. This developmentally appropriate approach builds coping skills and emotional regulation for children aged 3-12 through toys, storytelling, and creative expression.
Psychology Assessment
Our comprehensive assessments evaluate cognitive abilities, learning disabilities, and neurodevelopmental conditions like ADHD and autism. Using standardized tools, we identify giftedness, learning challenges, and emotional concerns to create targeted intervention plans for children and adults seeking academic or personal growth strategies.
Neurofeedback Therapy
Neurofeedback therapy improves brain function through real-time monitoring of neural activity. This non-invasive treatment helps clients enhance focus, emotional regulation, and cognitive performance by training brainwave patterns associated with ADHD, anxiety, and learning difficulties using specialized biofeedback equipment.
Parent Consultation
Parent consultation sessions provide caregivers with strategies to support children's emotional and behavioral needs. Our psychologists teach attachment-based techniques, behavior management approaches, and communication skills to strengthen family dynamics while complementing ongoing therapy for children receiving clinical services.
Social Skills Groups
Structured 8-week social skills programs help children improve peer interactions through guided activities and role-playing. These sessions focus on emotional awareness, conflict resolution, and communication strategies for kids struggling with social challenges related to anxiety, autism, or developmental delays.
