Play
Play therapy is based upon the foundation that play is the child’s natural way of expressing their feelings. Through various types of play, children can safely learn to understand their feelings and conflicts. With the help of a therapist, they are given an opportunity to confront these feelings and gain increased self-control, confidence and social skills.

Animal Assisted Therapy
Animal assisted therapy is a goal-directed treatment process in which
animals are used to enhance an individual’s physical, emotional and social
well-being, which improves self-esteem, reduces anxiety and facilitates healing.
Therapy animals provide a nonjudgmental space making it easier for clients to express
their feelings. This social interaction can increase school behavior by
increasing confidence and attention skills in children and adolescents.

Art
Through the use of art, clients are able to explore their emotions while
developing a greater self-awareness. Art can be unlimited in the materials and processes used. Just a few of the benefits can include reduced anxiety, improved
social and problem solving skills, and increased self-esteem.
