Embrace Life’s Challenges

As we grow, our brains go through stages of thinking. The stage of thinking a child is in will determine what method of counseling is used. For children that engage in imaginative play, play therapy is used. This is generally ages 4-7. Those with concrete thinking require solid practical instruction and practice; generally ages 7-11. After puberty, cognitive-behavioral approaches are used. Dustin’s extensive experience in the schools has given him a unique perspective to help children cope with the pressures that they face in day to day life. He has also received extensive training in trauma response and grief counseling for children.

During COVID, it is very difficult to conduct play therapy and ensure all the toys are sanitized. Therefore, appointments for children 10 and under will be limited. Please call to check availability.
