Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP)
  • CPP is a treatment for trauma-exposed children from birth - 5 years. The child and their primary caregiver attend sessions together. CPP examines how the trauma and the caregiver's relational history affect the caregiver-child relationship and the child's development. A central goal is to support and strengthen the caregiver-child relationship for restoring and protecting the child's social and emotional health. Treatment also focuses on family or environmental factors that may affect the caregiver-child relationship. Over the course of treatment, caregiver and child are guided to create a joint narrative of the psychological traumatic event, and identify and address traumatic triggers that generate dysregulated behaviors and affect.
Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)
  • PCIT is an evidence-based treatment for young children experiencing behavioral challenges. PCIT is facilitated through "coaching" sessions during which the parent and their child play in a playroom while the therapist is in a different room observing the parent and child interactions through a 1-way mirror and/or live video feed. The parents wear ear buds as the therapist provides in-the-moment coaching that supports the parent in learning skills to strengthen the connection and attachment between the parent and child, and decrease the frequency of challenging behavior.
Play Therapy
  • Play is the natural language of children. Staff use play to assist them in coping with emotional stress or trauma. In play therapy, children are given the opportunity to express themselves through art play, sand play, dramatic play and fantasy play.
  • By playing with intentionally selected materials, the child plays out their feelings, bringing hidden emotions to the surface where they can face them and learn to cope with them. Through play, the therapist can help change the experiences or outcomes of scary, frustrating or disappointing experiences. Therapeutic play helps children build their strength and skills to deal with challenging situations.
