Children
Richmond Family Therapy welcomes children, as young as 4, for therapy. Communication and therapy with children is typically achieved through play, art, and sand tray therapy. Some older, more mature, or more verbal children could also benefit from talk therapy. Each child is different and session are tailored to best meet their needs. Child therapy is child-directed, and provides children with a place where they can express themselves in a non-judgmental and permissive environment. Typically children enjoy the session, as the environment and activities are fun, and the therapeutic relationship and interventions allow for progress.
Adolescents
Adolescence can be a tough time in life-- stress at school, social media, relationships, parental-conflict, finding an identity, and transitioning into adulthood can cause some serious behavioral and emotional problems. Individuals who already have mental illnesses can find this time painfully difficult.
The goal of therapy is to build a therapeutic relationship with teens, building trust and an open door for them to discuss anything they want. It is a balancing act between remaining non-judgmental but also serious if need be.
Interventions used may include- talk therapy, CBT, art therapy, journaling, emotional expression work, developing coping skills, and working on social skills.
Adults
Adults may seek mental health counseling for an array of issues including- phase of life issues, divorce, retirement, grief and loss issues, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other mental illnesses.
Everyone is welcome, even if it is their first ever mental-health appointment.
Families
Keeping a healthy, positive, balanced family can take work. Communication is a big component to this, and family therapy is a safe place for everyone to come in a talk about what is going on and find practice solutions and resolutions.
Family therapy typically involves a conversation between family members and therapist offering clarifications, light suggestions, and support during this process.
