Child Therapy

Many families struggle to identify the unique psychological and educational strengths and challenges of their child. Rise Therapy Center serves as a resource where families can come to better understand the individual needs of their child, and discover how to best address those needs

Art Therapy

Children may not have the language skills to express themselves, but they still have a voice. Art gives them permission through their natural inclination of creative expression, to communicate experiences or emotions, especially when verbalization through talking alone may be unsuccessful. Strong emotional states often bottled up inside such as anger, sadness, and fear can become visible through the child’s art and initiate further exploration and understanding about its meaning. Putting their feelings into an art project gives children a safe outlet for negative emotions. But expressive arts aren’t just for coping, they also have great effects on a child’s normal development.

Play Therapy

Children communicate their thoughts and feelings through play more naturally than they do through verbal communication. Play therapy, then, builds on the natural way that children learn about themselves and their relationships in the world around them, while providing a safe psychological distance from problems. As your child plays, his or her therapist will begin to recognize themes and patterns or ways of using the materials that are important to your child.
