Behavioral Therapy

Helping children respond positively to situations.

Applied behavior therapy and play therapy are both used with kids. The treatment consists of showing children different methods of responding more positively to situations. A key component of this therapy is rewarding positive behavior instead of punishing. Caregivers are taught how to reinforce this in the child’s daily life.

Cognitive behavioral play therapy

Kids are observed while playing, when they can show their current social and emotional feelings. They choose their own toys and play freely and might be asked to draw a picture or create scenes in a sandbox with objects. By observing children at play, therapists are able to gain insight into what they are unable to express or makes them uncomfortable. The specialists can also advise parents how to use play to improve communication with their little ones.

Prior to your Video Consultation, your assigned therapist or screener will review your Patient Intake Form and know your main concerns.
