 Young children act out their thoughts and feelings through behaviors rather than verbalizing them, and depending on the way they behave, the functioning of the whole family can be negatively affected. Inappropriate or unusual behavior may be the result of the child's need for boundaries, consistency, and appropriate attention. Or it can be a result of emotional or neurological problems that have not been assessed.
Our Therapists will determine what type of help your child may need by participating with your child in play therapy and/or by conducting diagnostic testing when appropriate.

Children express themselves through their play activities using their imaginations. In Child-Centered Play Therapy, the therapist is skilled in using playful activities and toys to communicate with the child. The child is purposely allowed to choose the toys and the way they want to play with them, with few limits. This provides a comfortable environment for the child to open up and for their problems to come out naturally in their play. The therapist carefully observes the child's actions and when appropriate, engages with the child in their play behavior. The therapist then interprets the meaning of the child's play and works with the parents or caregivers to discuss the possible sources of the troublesome behaviors and to develop a plan for lasting change.

Our therapists' goal is to make a thorough assessment of your child's challenges, establish a treatment plan, and make a referral (only if appropriate) for medication management. Using the most up-to-date versions of every test available, we offer the following:
- ADD/ADHD & Behavior Evaluations
- Learning Disorder Assessments
- Intelligence/Cognitive (IQ) Testing
- Academic/Achievement Testing
- Depression/Anxiety/OCD Evaluations
- Comprehensive Independent Educational Evaluations*
*Results of these evaluations may be useful in determining the need for academic accommodations for your child, and for Admission, Review, and Dismissal (ARD) meetings and for the development of an Individualized Education Plan (IEP)
