Benefits of Telehealth Therapy

Telehealth, or accessing sessions with your therapist remotely, has been around for several decades, and increased significantly during and following the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Telehealth allows you to meet with your therapist from the comfort and convenience of your own home, along with many additional benefits.

HOW TO TALK TO YOUR CHILD ABOUT STARTING THERAPY

You’ve taken the first step and made an appointment for your child with a therapist – now what? It’s very typical for parents to be nervous about telling their child that they are going to see a therapist. Meeting with someone new can be scary and uncomfortable, especially if your child is not used to sharing emotions or doesn’t recognize that they need help. How you talk to your children about therapy can set their mind at ease and make them more prepared for their first session.

YOUNG CHILD THERAPY SESSIONS

Therapy for young children does not look like traditional talk therapy as most young children learn by doing. Typically play therapy will be used for young children which is a combination of playing games, art activities, movement and talking. Play therapy techniques will be used to help the child develop a warm, friendly connection with the therapist as well as help the child communicate their own needs. Our office has a variety of tools to create a safe space for play therapy including games, fidget toys, emotion activities, a dollhouse for learning and acting out social/family dynamics, and art materials.
