Child Psychologists and Child Therapists in Duncanville, TX.

Children are not equipped with adult words to help them express what is going on within their minds and hearts and lives. With more than half our marriages ending in divorce, kids these days are suffering in a huge way that is heartbreaking. Play therapy is all about giving children a safe place to "play out" their experiences, "act out" their anxiety and anger that they don't have the maturity to understand or communicate and learn coping skills to help them find peace in a chaotic world. A must for children who have experienced loss in any form in their lives or need appropriate empowerment to overcome bullying or other obstacles they encounter on a daily basis.

GRIT Kids exists to allow parents or caregivers to aid their children in the work of self-awareness—at every developmental stage— to better understand themselves and the world around them. Simple behavioral management fails to develop the internal locus of control that is necessary for developing character and self-discipline. Forming a self-identity and learning to live with purpose is a necessary life skill for children to learn in order to live into their fullest self. GRIT Kids Coaches are trained to help you do the work of raising your child with intention so you can see that little person grow into all they are capable of.

At Christ Centered Counseling we assist children, ages nine and older, with modifying their inappropriate behavior and with learning self-control skills. Children learn cognitive and behavioral skills as they begin to incorporate biblical principles into their lives. Bible stories are utilized to assist children with understanding Christ-like age appropriate behavior.

You don't want your child just to respond to a paid therapist; you ultimately want them to respond to you! I treat children under the age of 12 in tandem with their parents. My goal isn't just to connect to the child, but to connect the parent(s) to the child. We will work on emotions identification and connecting deeply with everyone in therapy. I utilize exercises involving active listening, reflection, and age-appropriate expression. In early years, this is done through play, and then gradually transitions to verbal expression.

I provide a caring and practical strategy to promote children's emotional wellbeing as a committed counselor who specializes in working with kids. With a wealth of expertise in working with kids of all ages, I offer treatment that is specifically designed to meet each child's requirements. I provide kids the freedom to express themselves and build healthy coping skills by providing a secure and supportive environment. With online therapy from me, convenience and flexibility are guaranteed, making it simpler for kids and parents to get the care they require. Together, we strive to lay the groundwork for a more promising future by fostering resilience and good mental health.

I see children five years old and up in my practice, and love helping them learn to see their potential and their innate gifts. I use directive play therapy to stimulate kids to think differently about their problems, cope with stress (including directions from authority figures) and enrich their inner lives. Teenagers will receive talk therapy, modified and tailored to their maturity level and challenges. Parenting consultations are an essential part of this process, so parents and caregivers can expect to be able to ask questions and get new parenting tools (and refinement of their existing ones).

In counseling children, my approach includes incorporating games and activities that provide a dynamic and effective approach to addressing self-esteem issues, reducing anxiety, and alleviating depression. Interactive games not only serve as tools for emotional expression but also facilitate social engagement, promoting healthy peer interactions and communication skills. Through strategic play, children can learn to navigate and manage their emotions, fostering resilience and coping mechanisms. This approach not only makes therapy enjoyable but also facilitates the development of essential life skills in a supportive environment, contributing to the overall emotional well-being of the child.

I specialize in the treatment of young children. My treatment approach varies depending on the child's needs. However, I am trained in play therapy, behavioral-based therapies, and parental training. One treatment model that I am trained in is Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). PCIT aims to help improve the parent-child relationship through interaction. I help parents develop more effective parenting techniques and reduce behavior issues with the child.
