The Tonkins Center has a formal specialty in working with children of all ages. We meet with the parent/s first to best decide the proper needs and approach for the child and family. Quite often, therapy involves parent sessions, family therapy, individual work and collaborating with the schools. In individual work, a variety of therapies include: talk, work in the sand, art and play mediums. We do not look at a child as a "patient", instead we want the child to be at ease, knowing that we are looking at the family as a whole. As parents, when we have a better understanding of what our children need and how to best meet those needs, stress decreases and times of happiness increase. |
