Are you wondering if your child could benefit from child therapy? Our therapists provide services to children of all ages. Who is Child Therapy For? As parents, we can usually tell when our normal efforts to help our child aren't working. There are times when we could benefit from more ideas for parenting. We want to give our child a chance to improve his or her own natural capacity to adjust and cope with challenges. Child therapy can help a child express normal emotions and is done often in conjunction with meetings with the parent(s). See our website about typical issues addressed with child therapy. Our child therapy services uses play therapy for children under a certain age.

When a young child is struggling, the whole family is affected. Treating kids requires a unique approach as they are often unable to express their feelings in words. Play therapy provides these young clients with an opportunity for self-expression that is natural and comfortable for them. We then able to use information gathered from these play sessions to provide feedback to the child’s parents and help the family unit to thrive.

While I have some training in play therapy, I prefer to work with children at least 10 years of age. A lot of issues that children face have to do with the family environment, which is why it's important to consider a family therapist to look at the entire family system. As a family therapist, I can help by examining the dynamics and interactions within the entire family system, identifying and addressing underlying issues, promoting healthy communication patterns, and fostering a supportive environment that contributes to the child's overall well-being and development.

Young children often can get a bad rap when it comes to counseling. Often times people fail to realize how smart and observant children are as well as underestimate a child's ability to discover their worth and potential. My approach in children's counseling revolves primarily around working with the child and learning about who they are and what they want from life. However since children do not exist in a vacuum, caregiver sessions are also an important part of my therapeutic approach so care givers can discover new strategies to better support their child.

Although I do not typically work directly with young children in therapy, I have experience working with their parents. I can help you as you transition to parenthood through pregnancy or adoption, adjust to life with a newborn, set appropriate limits and boundaries for behavior problems, and communicate more effectively in ways children can understand.

Helping young children takes building a collaborative relationship with the parents, and offering parental guidance. We assess the developmental tasks and needs of that child, and sometimes suggest child-centered play therapy or play therapy. We also offer Sand-tray therapy, which allows children to show us their inner worlds in images and motion. EMDR can be helpful with building inner resources and over-coming traumatic experiences, such as medical procedures. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, we look at children’s problems in the context of their whole lives. Sometimes helping parents learn to play with and understand the meaning of their children’s actions is the magic.

Many times, child therapists overdo the family system in their quest to seek effective solutions for emotional, learning or behavioral concerns with young children. And many times doctors overpathologize issues that shouldn’t be medicated necessarily. This leaves parents wondering what is the best route for their child? Introducing brainwave optimization technology. A fast, effective, natural, and less expensive way to allow your child's brain to make the optimizing changes it desires to make---on its own! Without any external force, opinion, medication, diagnostic, etc. Contact kevin@kevinflemingphd.com or 877-606-6161.
