Individual Therapy

Individual therapy sessions offer a non-judgmental space where clients can explore their personal experiences without fear of being judged. This therapeutic environment provides a safe and nurturing atmosphere for clients to express themselves openly and be truly understood.

Play Therapy

Play therapy provides a safe space for children to express and process their experiences. Since smaller children often lack the vocabulary to communicate their emotions, play becomes the medium through which they can explore their feelings.

Students are presented with a variety of programs and career possibilities, which can be both beneficial and daunting.
