All groups at Path for Peace will use art, games, and experiences to help strengthen the learning process.
Many children need help navigating social situations like joining in a conversation, making and keeping friends. This group will help all be better friends.
At times our emotions come out of our body. Excitement might lead to using our hands to give high fives and frustration might lead to pushing or grabbing. This group will focus on friendship skills while also working on impulse control, flexibility, and frustration management.
Middle School is hard. This group provides girls with an opportunity to process with kind and validating peers while using art and games to make the difficulties a bit more fun.
High School is a time of fun and friendships. Although this can be an exciting time of life, it also has challenges. This group will focus on learning about and loving ourselves.
Please call or email for more information.
Traditional talk therapy is helpful for many adults, but children and adolescents need help expressing their thoughts and feelings. I believe that the use of expressive modalities will allow children and adolescents to communicate in a natural manner so that the cause of behavior can be understood. Also I feel that using creative expressive therapies help put the needed changes into children’s lives.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) believes that behavior is meaningful. By looking at the function of the behavior, I can better understand why the behavior is in place and then replace it with a healthier behavior.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a great approach to help teenagers, young adults, and adults with any maladaptive behavior. DBT is psycho-educational in nature, but I teach coping skills in a fun and engaging manner.
I enjoy working with individuals and with their families to achieve peace and well-being. I have years of experience working with anxiety, depression, and anger. I also love working with family conflicts and resistant clients. I use CBT and DBT techniques to help my clients learn healthy coping skills so they can create a life worth living. I have an extensive training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which can be greatly beneficial for all adolescents. It can help with all manipulative behaviors including but not limited to suicidal thoughts, self-harming behaviors, explosive emotional outburst, isolation, anxiety, panic attacks, and disordered eating. DBT can also help adolescents to more effectively communicate with their parents, handle difficult situations, and understand and control their emotions.
