Therapy through play and creative expression facilitates the emotional and social development of children while helping teenagers construct their identity. As a therapeutic medium, dramatherapy allows intense emotional charges to be expressed safely, while working on difficult behaviors and traumatic experiences to re-access creativity and bring psychological restoration.
The Process of Entering a Child into Therapy
The first meeting takes place with the parents. Together, we explore the reasons they want their child to start therapy, and we record the background of the family and the child.
We then continue with a session that includes both the child and the parents, where we explore whether the therapeutic process is beneficial to the child and whether the child wants to participate.
With the consent of the parents, two individual sessions with the child are conducted (and more sessions if necessary) to evaluate the child’s readiness.
After the evaluation is completed, we explore whether therapy will be useful to the child before proceeding with collaboration.
NOTE: Therapy services for children and adolescents are no longer offered.
