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. 

CCPT is a developmentally responsive, play-based mental health intervention for young children ages 3 to 10 who are experiencing social, emotional, behavioral and relational disorders. CCPT utilizes play, the natural language of children, and therapeutic relationship to provide a safe, consistent therapeutic environment in which a child can experience full acceptance, empathy, and understanding from the counselor and process inner experiences and feelings through play and symbols. 

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.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a modified type of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Its main goals are to teach people how to live in the moment, develop healthy ways to cope with stress, regulate their emotions, and improve their relationships with others.

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.
