Counseling for Children

Children, including young children, also need counseling or therapy at times. We often think that adults and teens are the only ones who need help with anxiety or stress, but children suffer, too.

As a Play therapist in Louisville, I am more than happy to provide your child with the counseling and skills needed to overcome anxiety, depression, and stress. There are many reasons why a child might feel stressed, anxious or depressed. These feelings often are expressed by children as behavioral problems. Play therapy helps children overcome the causes of their behavioral issues, by uncovering the underlying feelings and helping them learn valuable coping skills.

Play therapy is a special, therapeutic approach for working with children, adolescents, and their families and care providers. Play is the language children use to express themselves. Usually, children have not developed the cognitive or verbal skills that adults use to discuss their feelings in the traditional therapy format. Structured therapeutic play is a safe container for children to express the concerns and issues they are struggling with. Some of the benefits of play therapy include:

  • Children can work through their problems using play.
  • Children can communicate their ideas, feelings, and experiences nonverbally.
  • Children can re-create and then resolve events, such as divorce, trauma, abuse, or the death of a parent or family member in play.

How Does Play Therapy Work?

A qualified play therapist is able to guide the play of children in ways that are therapeutic and healing. Parents, family members, and care providers are often included in this process. Having all members included allows the therapist to observe and interpret the full range of relational dynamics that are important to the child or adolescent. The play therapist is then able to enter into the child’s world and, from there, offer appropriate suggestions and interventions.

Children Learn What They Live

If children live with hostility,
they learn to fight.
If children live with ridicule,
they learn to be shy.
If children live with tolerance,
they learn to be patient.
If children live with encouragement,
they learn confidence.
If children live with praise,
they learn to appreciate.
If children live with fairness,
they learn justice.
If children live with security,
they learn faith.If children live with approval,
they learn to like themselves.
If children live with acceptance, and friendship,
they learn to find love in the world.
Dorothy Law Nolte, Ph. D.

 

Teaching kids to count is fine, but teaching
them what counts is best.
–Bob Talbert

"Our young grade school daughter needed help managing emotions, bad dreams and some challenging behavior. Monica helped her a great deal, giving her an outlet to express herself and tools for her to keep herself on the right track. We see a marked improvement and we're all doing better because of it. Highly recommended!"
