My go-to approach for child therapy is to use shared activity or offer artistic expression through playing games and using puppets or having the child draw or show me other creative skills they have with LEGOs, sand play, etc.
The tools I teach in children's therapy are generally the identification of emotions and safe self-expression, self-regulation through mindfulness and physical activity, and the development of social skills through turn-taking, story telling, and cooperative play.
I know a client is making progress when sleep and somatic complaints decrease, when they are more able to tolerate unfamiliar situations, and when they report being better understood or supported by adults in their lives.
Clients can supplement their time in children's therapy by using scheduled reinforcements to support behavior change, rehearsing mindfulness skills, and practicing naming feelings and what influenced them vs. only reacting.
To prepare for their first child therapy session, a child can talk with a parent about what they hope to change and come up with a list of questions they like to ask new people about interests, etc.
Child therapy, also known as counseling for kids, helps young individuals better understand and manage the challenges that affect their mental health. Common challenges amongst kids include behavioral issues, trauma, bullying, depression, and anxiety. All ages of children can attend and benefit from child therapy at Thriveworks Cedar Park.
Child therapy works by using multiple techniques tailored to fit the child’s needs based on their age group, their challenges, and the severity of their challenges. It might involve play therapy for younger kids or cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, art therapy, and others for varying ages. In any case, Thriveworks child therapists in Cedar Park, TX have the expertise and experience to help kids at their level.
Child therapy is a type of therapy meant for clients within a specific age group, while play therapy is an approach to therapy that helps children with self-expression and stress relief, among others. Play therapy is a technique that is often used in child therapy to help children express what’s running through their minds when they do not have the words to express their thoughts and emotions. It can get children to express what’s wrong, what might be causing unwanted behaviors, or what they might need in a way that is accessible to them so that therapists can then work to treat the issue.
It’s not always obvious when a child should see a therapist for their behavior, though in the midst of challenges like divorce, loss, bullying, and other mental health conditions, it’s often a good idea to seek it out. Common behaviors that can indicate a need for child therapy include separation anxiety, bedwetting (at inappropriate ages), and agitation/excessive irritability — especially if it reaches a point of physical violence.
Cognitive behavioral therapy at Thriveworks in Cedar Park, TX is one of the best types of therapy for children. However, it can be administered in child therapy sessions in a variety of ways that are more accessible to young minds, such as play therapy.
Child therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of child therapy depends on your child’s needs as well as the goals that you and their therapist might have for them. Generally, child therapy sessions will last for several months.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay.
