Why Choose Child Therapy?
Childhood is a critical period for emotional and psychological development. It’s also a formative time for parents who may be raising children for the first time and are eager to offer the best support they can to their child. Children may experience a range of issues, from anxiety and depression to behavioral problems and family dynamics. Early intervention through professional therapy can help address these challenges, promoting healthier development and long-term well-being. Starting your child in therapy at a practice that is child-focused is a great way to give your child a positive foundational experience of therapy so that they are comfortable returning to it in the future as needed.
Our Approach to Child Therapy
At Empower Family Therapy, we believe in a personalized approach to therapy. We tailor our services to meet the specific needs of each child and their family. Our methodologies include:
Play Therapy: Utilizing play to help children express emotions and resolve conflicts. Play is the Work of children, and is often an easier way for children to express themselves than verbal communication.
Family Therapy: Addressing family dynamics and improving communication to support the child's growth. Assisting parents in the child’s treatment so they are updates on progress and can help the child utilize skills at home and provide the best support.
Art Therapy: Allowing children to explore their feelings and thoughts through creative expression. Our Lincoln Park and Oak Park office both have dedicated space for our creative child clients. By creating a space that invites creativity children are encouraged to express themselves through art and feel comfortable in a new space with a new therapist.
