The AutPlay framework is a neurodiversity paradigm informed and designed to help child and play therapists address the mental health needs of neurodivergent children ages 3-18 (autistic children, those with ADHD, social anxiety, sensory differences, learning differences, and developmental and physical disabilities).

Theraplay​ is an approach to child and family therapy that aims to address behavioral, emotional, or developmental issues and improve the parent-child relationship through play and healthy interaction.

Adlerian play therapist will provide space for both child-led and counselor-led activities throughout services to help the child make progress in self-concept, sense of connectedness to others, and overall sense of empowerment. The overarching goal of AdPT is to support the child’s shift in beliefs about themselves, others, and the world to help them feel more successful personally and in relationships with others. Outcomes following AdPT include decreased symptomatic behaviors and improvement in overall functioning. 

 Cognitive processing therapy (CPT) is a 12 session modality grounded in social cognitive theory and focuses on the ways in which the traumatic event altered individual's views of themselves, the world, and others within domains of safety, trust, control, esteem and intimacy. 

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is an action-oriented approach to psychotherapy that stems from traditional behavior therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. Clients learn to stop avoiding, denying, and struggling with their inner emotions and, instead, accept that these deeper feelings are appropriate responses to certain situations that should not prevent them from moving forward in their lives. With this understanding, clients begin to accept their hardships and commit to making necessary changes in their behavior, regardless of what is going on in their lives and how they feel about it.

 SPACE aims to treat children and adolescents with anxiety disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Although children do not have to attend SPACE sessions - they are the patients! When SPACE treatment is successful children feel less anxious and function better following treatment.
