Treatment Approach:
Play Therapy
Play Therapy is appropriate for children ages 3 to 11. It is a form of
counseling which uses play to help therapists communicate with
children and understand their mental health. Because children develop
cognitive skills before language skills, play is an effective way to
understand a child. The therapist may observe the child playing with toys
to understand the child's behavior and identify issues.
Psychodynamic
Psychodynamic therapy, also known as "insight-oriented therapy,"
evolved from Freudian psychoanalysis. Like adherents of psychoanalysis,
psychodynamic therapists believe that bringing the unconscious into
conscious awareness promotes insight and resolves conflict.
However, psychodynamic therapy is shorter and less intensive than
psychoanalysis and focuses on the client-therapist relationship as a way
to learn how the client relates to others.
Relational
Relational therapy uses strategies to address marital dysfunction and
restore harmony in relationships. Couples recovering from affairs, traumatic events,
or loss of passion can find RLT helpful. To repair discord, the therapist identifies
the main conflict upsetting the couples' emotional intimacy. Once the partners see
how they both contribute to the problem, the therapist teaches them skills to improve
the ways they relate to each other. Couples may see a change in their relationship
within three to six months.
