Child therapy is tailored specifically to meet the emotional and developmental needs of children. It provides a safe and supportive space for children to express themselves, explore their feelings, and learn coping skills to navigate life’s challenges. Child therapists utilize a variety of techniques, including play therapy, art therapy, and cognitive-behavioral techniques, to help children process their emotions and develop positive coping strategies.
Child therapy is based on the belief that children have unique experiences, perspectives, and needs that should be honored and respected in therapy. Therapists adapt their approach to meet the individual needs of each child, creating a nurturing and empowering therapeutic environment.
Child therapists use developmentally appropriate techniques, such as play, art, and storytelling, to help children communicate and express their thoughts and feelings in a way that feels natural and comfortable for them.

TGCTA is an evidence-based, assessment-driven treatment for adolescents ages 11 to 21 who have been exposed to trauma, bereavement, traumatic bereavement, or other life adversities, placing them at high risk for severe and persistent distress, functional impairment, and developmental disruption.
