Therapy with a child can be a combination of play therapy and talk therapy. The use of play in therapy can assist children in a number of ways, including increasing level of comfort in the therapy room, helping to work through challenges, and also providing an in-the-moment opportunity to work on things such as frustration tolerance, rule negotiation, and interpersonal interactions.  You can read more about Play Therapy here.   Play and games are familiar to children and being able to approach therapy within a familiar framework can be reassuring.  

Areas of difficulty I see in working with children include behavioral problems, impulsivity, friendships, separation anxiety, school refusal, mood issues, and obsessive compulsive disorder.  I am happy to speak with you about your specific concerns.
