Art Therapy with Youth
1. Resources
We take the time to get to know your child through age appropriate activities. Playing helps reduce fears about "talking" a counsellor. Art based activities enable youth to communicate through words, actions, play, and images.
2. Review your goals.
We learn your child's interests and strengths and what makes them unique. We want to understand what is working well.
3. Identify Obstacles.
We also take the time to identify the challenges from the perspective of the child, parents, siblings, and schools, if possible. We discuss what is getting in the way of meeting your goals, and having fun.
4. Plan to Overcoming Obstacles.
We are here to help you untie the knots that keep you stuck. Together we make a plan to overcome these challenges. Building strategies, learning skills, and building awareness.
5. Staying on Track
We provide ongoing support and feedback that helps your child and you to sustain the positive new changes.
