Play therapy provides a relaxed setting for children to learn how to communicate with others, express feelings, modify behavior, and develop problem-solving skills. In a safe and approachable environment, play therapy utilizes toys, art, and games to facilitate discussion with children to address complex feelings and thoughts about their problems in a way that is appropriate to their development.
In order to provide a well-rounded treatment plan, Amelia often consults with school counselors, pediatricians, primary care physicians, and psychiatrists.
Amelia is qualified to provide screening assessments to enhance client treatment. If further diagnostic tools are required, a referral for a psychiatrist or psychologist will be discussed.
