PSYCHOLOGY & PSYCHOTHERAPY
Psychotherapy:
Psychotherapy is a term used to describe the treatment of various mental health concerns. In particular, child and youth psychotherapy focuses on helping the young client and parents/caregivers learn about a child's mood, feelings, thoughts and behaviours. Child and youth psychotherapists help their clients to understand and articulate their feelings. This can be done through a variety of ways, such as, play, drawing, worksheets and roleplay activities as well as talking about events or previous experiences.
Psychotherapy Initial Intake:
The Psychotherapy Initial Intake allows the psychotherapist and parent/caregiver to further discuss the child/youth mental health concerns. During this parent only intake, further information regarding family history, child's development and social/emotional needs are discussed. Goals for therapy and a treatment plan are also determined at this meeting.
Psychotherapy Session:
Following the Psychotherapy Initial Intake, psychotherapy sessions are scheduled to implement the treatment plan and to address therapy goals. This can be done with either parents/caregivers or child/youth or a combination of both.
