Therapy
“Playing reduces stress, improves life, and increases creativity. Who doesn’t want that?”
-Stevanne Auerbach, “Dr. Toy”
If you are a therapist who specializes in areas outside of children and child development, you may want to consider making referrals to my practice when the need arises. Although I see children of all ages, my focus is on work with young children (0-7) and their families. I have specific interest and experience in work with trauma, attachment issues and atypical development which does not seem to fit a specific diagnosis. Feel free to contact me by phone or email if you would like more information about my practice before making a referral.
Consultation
I offer consultation for therapists who work primarily with children as well as for those who work primarily with adults. I am often sought out by fellow play therapists because of my extensive background in child development and my hand’s on experience with children. I offer the opportunity to understand the principles and techniques of play therapy as they apply to specific cases. Therapists for adults may seek consultation in order to understand how trauma at a specific age may have impacted the client’s development. I am also available for ongoing supervision of interns or licensed therapists who are interested in play therapy. Please contact me for more information regarding supervision.
