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.
