Individual Therapy
Psychotherapy is a general term referring to the therapeutic interaction or treatment contracted between a trained therapist and a client. The “client” may be an individual (child, teenager or adult), a couple or a family.
Family Therapy
Family therapy can be described as a therapeutic intervention that focuses on altering the interactions between and among family members.
Couples Therapy
The goal of couples therapy, similar to that of family therapy, is to treat problems from the perspective of bringing together all involved parties.
Play Therapy
Play therapy is a process whereby the trained therapist allows the child to explore, at his or her own pace and with his or her own agenda, those issues past or current, that is affecting the child’s life in the present.
