Child and family therapy

 At Sandstone Psychology, we understand the unique challenges that families and children can face, and we are dedicated to providing high-quality therapy services to support their healing and growth. Our team of therapists is trained in a range of approaches that have been shown to be effective in helping families and children work through their challenges and improve their relationships.

One approach we use is family systems therapy, which is a research-supported model that focuses on the relationships and dynamics within a family. It recognizes that problems within a family are often interconnected and that addressing one issue may have a ripple effect on other areas of the family's functioning. Our therapists work collaboratively with caregivers to identify patterns of communication and behavior that may be contributing to the family's challenges, and help them develop new ways of interacting and solving problems.

Play therapy is another approach that we often use when working with children. Play is a natural and developmentally appropriate way for kids to express themselves and work through their emotions, and play therapy provides a structured and safe space for this to happen. Our child therapists use play, art, and other creative approaches to help kids express themselves and work through their challenges. We also work closely with caregivers to support their understanding of their child's behavior and to provide strategies for helping their child at home.

In addition to these research-supported approaches, our therapists are also trained in other evidence-based approaches, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). These approaches can be helpful for addressing specific issues, such as anxiety, depression, and trauma.

At Sandstone Psychology, we believe in the power of therapy to foster healing, strengthen relationships, and help families and children move towards their treatment goals. Our therapists are dedicated to providing compassionate and effective care to support the unique needs of each family and child. We understand that seeking therapy can be intimidating, and we strive to create a safe and supportive space where families and children can feel comfortable and supported. We look forward to working with you and supporting you on your journey towards healing and growth.
