What is your go-to approach for child therapy?

My go-to approach is often play therapy, because it helps with expression of feelings.

What tools do you teach in child therapy?

Some of the tools that I teach include:

  • Healthy expression of feelings
  • Belly breathing
  • Play therapy

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in child therapy?

I know a child making meaning progress when they begin to express feelings more effectively, do better in school, and use the tools I've taught them.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement child therapy?

Child clients can use belly breathing and expression of feelings at home and school to manage stress, regulate emotions, and communicate effectively with caregivers and peers.

What should someone do to prepare for starting child therapy?

Before starting therapy, children can be informed that they will begin therapy, assuring them that it will be fun and helpful in managing their feelings.

Starting Child therapy in Midland

What is child therapy?

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 Midland.

How does child therapy work?

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 Midland, TX have the expertise and experience to help kids at their level.

Play therapy vs. child therapy

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.

How to tell if my child needs counseling

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.

What type of therapy is best for children?

Cognitive behavioral therapy at Thriveworks in Midland, 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.

Is child therapy conducted in person or online?

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.

How long does child therapy last?

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.

How much does child therapy cost?

At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state.

I am so thankful for Ms. Edwige Tonye, Ms. Deidra Fuller and Thriveworks for helping me to get back on the right track mentally, emotionally, physically, etc., even in the brief time that I've been apart of this program. It was not complicated to navigate the website as it allows you to freely discover the counselor you feel you'd mesh well with based on the thorough information provided for each person. I appreciate the effectiveness of its simplicity and wide variety of help with what you are looking for.. Edwige is very sweet and bubbly, knowledgeable and immensely helpful on this quest to improve my mental health. Deidra is kind, understanding, straightforward, funny, and knowledgeable to what your needs and struggles are. Both ladies challenge you to be who you know you can be, even if you're scared on the initial road to be that person. So far so good with these sessions and on the path to being and accepting myself. I'm very thankful that the Lord placed this program and these amazing ladies in my life and I cannot thank them enough for what they do.
