Our Child Parent Relationship Therapy Approach
This approach to child-parent relationship therapy usually takes 10-20 sessions, and focuses not on either the parent or the child, but rather, it focuses on the relationships that are affected, and may include the entire family. Issues that develop in families are often related to a family dynamic, and experienced by the entire family. The goal of our play therapists who provide Filial or Child Parent Relationship Therapy is to provide a safe and warm environment for all of the family members in attendance, to allow the good work of repairing and empowering family relationships to occur.
All of our Play Therapists provide Child Parent Relationship Therapy. Our Child, Adolescent and Family Therapists may also provide CPRT. Reach out today to learn more!
