Child Psychologists and Child Therapists in Galena Park, TX.

My approach to helping young children encompasses understanding their world and their unique perspectives. My goal with children is to allow them the space to explore their emotions and feelings in a safe environment without judgement. My residency through internship allowed me the privilege to work with children of trauma. That unique vantage point of exploration through play therapy and in direct play can help build better, healthy relationships.

We provide child counseling and play therapy to help children with emotional expression, coping skills, behavior change and develop healthy self-esteem. We tailor our approach to the needs of your child. Children often are not able to express what they are feeling or going through in words. Through play, children have a language to express what they are experiencing and going through. Play therapy allows children to change the way they think about, feel toward, and resolve their concerns. New skills are learned, which can be taken to the home and school environment. Parents are also taught ways to reinforce new skills at home.

Sometimes people perceive children to be just "little adults". The truth is that in working with children, it is important to be able to recognize where they are developmentally; socially, intellectually, physically, emotionally. In working with children and teens, I strive to match them where they are developmentally, as well as speak their language - the language of play and movement. With the help of the herd of horses with whom I partner, along with the other animals at Red Dun Ranch, rapport is quickly established. By providing an emotionally safe and physically appealing location, children and teens develop the skills to grow, learn, and develop "stable relationships".

I provide a caring and practical strategy to promote children's emotional wellbeing as a committed counselor who specializes in working with kids.

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.

As a family therapist, I find it helpful to engage the entire family in the session. This may include parents, step-parents or grandparents that are acting as primary caretakers. During the session, all family members are encouraged to participate. I engage children who lack verbal skills through games and play. This reduces anxiety for the child and promotes a therapeutic connection. Using play as a means of getting parents and children to express their feelings can supplement talk therapy and may accelerate the progress toward client driven goals.

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.
