Child Psychology

Child psychology therapy employs a child-centered and developmentally sensitive approach to address the emotional, cognitive, physical and behavioral needs of children

Approach

It begins with a comprehensive assessment of the child's individual characteristics, family environment, and any specific challenges or disorders they may be facing, such as ADHD, anxiety, or trauma. Therapists create a safe and supportive space for the child to express themselves through play, talk, or art, depending on their age and developmental stage. Evidence-based techniques, like cognitive-behavioral therapy, are often adapted to suit a child's level of understanding, helping them understand and manage their emotions and behaviors.

Key Points

  • Child-Centered Approach: Child psychology therapy is centered around the unique needs, abilities, and developmental stages of children.
  • Assessment and Diagnosis: It involves a thorough assessment of the child's emotional, cognitive, and behavioral functioning to identify any issues, disorders, or challenges.
  • Developmentally Appropriate Techniques: Therapists use developmentally appropriate techniques, such as play therapy, art therapy, or talk therapy, depending on the child's age and developmental level.
  • Emotional Expression: The therapy provides a safe space for children to express their emotions, thoughts, and concerns, which can be done through various therapeutic modalities.
  • Family Involvement: In many cases, family members are involved in therapy to support the child's progress and address family dynamics that may be contributing to the child's difficulties.
