Child Psychologists and Child Therapists in Woodland Park, CO.

Children are incredible, talented beings! However, oftentimes we have adult expectations of children, in terms of managing BIG emotions - when they haven't been given the tools to do so or feel heard when they try to express these feelings. I believe in harnessing the power of play (a child's language!) to give children a necessary outlet and room to practice these life skills. I utilize both direct and non-direct play techniques to help children prevent or resolve difficulties with which they are struggling. I believe in the healing power of play and the tremendous benefits it brings to children in therapy.

True Happiness and Stability Stems from the Quality of our Significant Relationships! I provide therapy for children, adolescents, individuals, elders, couples, and families. I focus on people's strengths and possibilities while addressing their real life difficulties. I provide a wide variety of evidence-based treatment approaches. Which means that all the therapy that I implement is highly researched and therefore, proven to work, if followed correctly. I believe in a holistic approach to the therapeutic process that incorporates biological, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions empowering a person or family towards mastering life to its fullest.

At Foundations Counseling, we offer counseling services to children and adolescents between the ages of 2 and 18, who may be struggling with inappropriate behaviors, difficult emotions, and upheaval or trauma in their life. For younger children, our specialists utilize play therapy to effectively address their needs. For older children, traditional cognitive-behavioral therapy is often the most effective stragey. We also offer art therapy for all ages. If you feel a child in your life would benefit from therapy, please call us at (970) 227-2770.
