Every child deserves to feel safe, understood, empowered, connected, and loved. Providing your child with the space and time they need to feel heard can be a gift for their wellness and development that will last a lifetime. At Manning Integrative Counseling, we create a safe and nurturing space for children ages 4-14 to be heard. Leveraging researched-based informed play therapy principles, we help children develop their voice, discover their strengths, and grow to be the best version of themselves. View 13 Photos Therapy for a child is much different than therapy for an adult. Adults are mostly rational, and process problems and issues using their brain. In contrast, children ARE NOT rational! They do not start developing abstract reasoning skills until about 12-13 yrs. old. Because of this I use “child-centered, non-directive” Play Therapy and Sand Tray Therapy. Navigating parenting challenges and knowing what to do is not for the faint of heart. It is OK if you find yourself at a loss of what to do. That is simply a clue that "Now Is a Good Time" to reach out and consult with others. I invite you to call or email me to see if my services would be a good fit for your child. We can overcome together!
