Clinicians at Seven Corners Psychotherapy use play, art, and other creative techniques to work with children ages 3+ to help them work through confusing or disruptive feelings. We use child centered play therapy to help children improve their ability to manage overwhelming feelings and situations, as well as heal from difficult experiences. In addition, we work with parents to help them understand the messages behind their child's behavior in order to improve any challenges in the home. We are a neurodiversity-affirming practice. At Seven Corners Psychotherapy, we center the specific needs of your child and will work with you as grow in doing the same.

We can help your child and family work on issues of depression, anxiety, grief, loss, behavior issues, parenting concerns, healing from trauma, life transitions, bullying, adoption, divorce, problems at school, loneliness, identity challenges, and challenges getting along with others. It is important to not only provide coping skills to the child and parents, but also to work on the underlying issues that are causing the presenting problem.

For younger children, we begin with an initial 60 minute session with the parents. It is important that your therapist is a good fit for not only your child, but also for you. After the initial session, your therapist will have three to four 45 minute sessions with your child, during which an assessment will be completed while forming a strong therapeutic relationship. After this, we will have a 45 or 60 minute parent session to review progress both in therapy and at home and determine a treatment plan. The duration of therapy is determined by the presenting problem as well as the child's progress. Parent sessions are held regularly throughout to ensure that parents and the therapist have the information needed to help the child succeed.

When it is your teenager who needs support, therapists use a combination of talk therapy along with other creative therapies to work through presenting problems. The initial session is with both the teen and the parents, and parent sessions are conducted as needed throughout the process.

Clinicians at Seven Corners Psychotherapy work closely with other adults in the young person's life, such as teachers, guidance counselors, and psychiatrists as needed. We believe that children thrive when each of the adults in their life are working together to help them process difficult and overwhelming emotions.

The end of therapy is as important as the beginning. We will decide together when it is a good time to end our work. Goodbyes can be difficult, therefore it is important to have at least 3 sessions after we have decided to end therapy in order to have a strong and healthy goodbye.
