Intake Session

The first session is an intake conversation between myself and you (a child’s parent(s) or caregiver(s)). This is an opportunity for me to find out more about your child, your family and the concerns you have. It is also an opportunity for you to find out more about how I work with children and families, and to ask any questions you have. Allow up to 90 minutes for an Intake Session.

 

Play Therapy Sessions

Play therapy sessions between myself and a child occur once a week. In order to provide consistency, sessions occur on the same day and at the same time each week. Consistency helps children to feel secure and allows the momentum of progress to continue uninterrupted. The number of play therapy sessions needed varies from child to child. A parent or caregiver remains in the building throughout a child’s session. Each Play Therapy Session is 50 minutes. 

 

Review Sessions

Review meetings between myself and you will occur on a regular basis (usually after every 5 play therapy sessions) so we can exchange information about what’s been happening for your child at home and during play therapy. During these sessions I will also offer you guidance on what you can do to support your child. Your diligence and consistency in implementing suggestions I make will be important in helping your child transfer the shifts that happen for them at play therapy to home and other settings. Each Review Session is approximately 50 minutes and occurs in addition to your child’s usual play therapy session that week.
