We know you can’t sit a four-year-old down and ask them, “Tell me why you are here today.” But what is something that all kids do on a daily basis? KIDS PLAY. The Association of Play therapy defines play therapy “as way of being with the child that honors their unique developmental level and looks for ways of helping in the “language” of the child – play.“ https://www.westhoustonpsych.com/blog/a-light-in-the-darkness monthly 0.5 2023-02-01 https://www.westhoustonpsych.com/blog/notice-name-neutralize-an-acceptance-and-commitment-therapy-strategy-to-help-you-through-the-tough-feelings monthly 0.5 2023-02-21 https://www.westhoustonpsych.com/blog/7g70dw14pxw77xjm55vgxccv99b5hh monthly 0.5 2023-01-24 https://www.westhoustonpsych.com/blog/owd9db044y2rjkia2sl2jjc26oce22 monthly 0.5 2023-01-23 https://www.westhoustonpsych.com/blog/self-care-and-the-power-of-self-compassion monthly 0.5 2023-01-23 https://www.westhoustonpsych.com/blog/how-moms-can-celebrate-mothers-day-without-having-a-mother-to-celebrate monthly 0.5 2022-05-06 https://www.westhoustonpsych.com/blog/circle-the-wagons monthly 0.5 2023-01-25 https://www.westhoustonpsych.com/blog/5wcwglhwhu97kdnbnug2z8s4pdo18p monthly 0.5 2022-01-11 https://www.westhoustonpsych.com/blog/is-it-the-baby-blues-or-something-more monthly 0.5 2021-12-16 https://www.westhoustonpsych.com/blog/common-mindfulness-myths monthly 0.5 2022-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609d3f02f0a3157a10b19ce7/1625316012122-QL4HOZNCJ69XECXPCPI6/unsplash-image-DFtjXYd5Pto.jpg Blog - Common Mindfulness Myths Bright natural dining room nook with vases plates and fruits on the table. https://www.westhoustonpsych.com/blog/what-is-act-acceptance monthly 0.5 2021-11-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ede5d5c4e1eb54d74680dd4/1596490320217-S3UO1YZ3RDYK18J9QBLZ/Pretty+Caucasian+woman+at+the+beach+smiling+at+camera.

At this age, children may not understand therapy or why they are meeting with a therapist. Through play with specific toys and games, children become more comfortable and the therapist can use these interactions to explore emotions, behaviors and coping strategies. Children at ease will often engage more in the therapy process and trust will gradually be built between the therapist and child. The process of play alone allows children to work through many fears, anxieties, sadness or grief. Additionally, play can allow the child to build trust and can help them to become more verbal which allows the therapist to understand the child’s concerns on a deeper level. Play therapy may look like playtime from the outside. What's actually happening is clinically intentional — a trained therapist using the child's natural form of communication to explore emotions, build coping strategies, and create trust. Our child therapists are trained in child-centered approaches and work closely with parents as partners throughout treatment. Specific training includes Child Centered Play Therapy, Synergetic Therapy, Attachment, Sand Tray, EMDR for children and LENS Neurofeedback. Therapy for Tweens & Teens Adolescence is one of the most psychologically demanding phases of life. Identity, belonging, performance, relationships, and future pressure all hitting at once. Our therapists specialize in this space and have spent years earning the trust of teens who came in skeptical. We begin with a parent/guardian intake to understand the full picture, then create a space where your teen can speak freely, build insight, and develop strategies that actually work for their life. At key moments, family sessions bring everyone together, so progress made in therapy can take root at home. What We Work With: Anxiety and depression · Trauma · Eating disorders and body image · ADHD and learning differences · Behavioral challenges · Family conflict · Self-esteem and identity · Grief · Social stress and bullying https://www.westhoustonpsych.com/cost-for-therapy daily 0.75 2025-11-21 https://www.westhoustonpsych.com/daniellegorrity daily 0.75 2025-11-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609d3f02f0a3157a10b19ce7/141b7924-7bc3-442f-8d8c-2f305b470619/DanielleG.jpg Danielle Gorrity, LCSW - Danielle Gorrity, LCSW Therapist https://www.westhoustonpsych.com/kristin-malejan-lcsw daily 0.75 2025-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609d3f02f0a3157a10b19ce7/246c62e9-e53a-4864-826f-526840cd6d9f/2K2A1511.jpg Kristin Malejan, LCSW - Kristin Malejan, LCSW Therapist https://www.westhoustonpsych.com/womens-reproductive-healthperinatal-mood-disorders daily 0.75 2026-05-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609d3f02f0a3157a10b19ce7/1779316947831-HF1TKLI498JXZIN5XG9P/unsplash-image-ZTSiID1W7-o.jpg Perinatal & Reproductive Health https://www.westhoustonpsych.com/traumatherapywhcp daily 0.75 2026-05-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609d3f02f0a3157a10b19ce7/584c20a4-bf97-42d4-a0a2-947819791abe/071421+WHCP+Office-2181wide.jpg Trauma Therapy - Accelerated Resolution Therapy and Eye Movement and Desensitization Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609d3f02f0a3157a10b19ce7/584c20a4-bf97-42d4-a0a2-947819791abe/071421+WHCP+Office-2181wide.jpg Trauma Therapy - Accelerated Resolution Therapy and Eye Movement and Desensitization Therapy https://www.westhoustonpsych.com/jill-wiseman-lpc-s daily 0.75 2025-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609d3f02f0a3157a10b19ce7/c5a2eaf0-96c7-46d0-b199-849bfc38dd6d/2K2A1418.jpg Jill Wiseman, MA, LPC-S - Jill Wiseman, MA, LPC-S Therapist https://www.westhoustonpsych.com/general-4 daily 0.75 2025-10-28 https://www.westhoustonpsych.com/brandy-boza daily 0.75 2026-05-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609d3f02f0a3157a10b19ce7/1a9fbd49-5cdf-42b6-9422-a9969f844841/2K2A1408.jpg Brandy Boza, M.Ed, LPC-A - Brandy Boza, M.Ed, LPC-A Therapist https://www.westhoustonpsych.com/lens-neurofeedback daily 0.75 2026-05-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609d3f02f0a3157a10b19ce7/1740598799484-3KKZX3YC63XEVF4OOZ7W/unsplash-image-58Z17lnVS4U.jpg Lens Neurofeedback https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609d3f02f0a3157a10b19ce7/1740599244867-U9M7RPM1LREG5KFXNCV5/unsplash-image-i14h2xyPr18.jpg Lens Neurofeedback https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609d3f02f0a3157a10b19ce7/1741275879358-G4ITMZUXMYR91KJLR4A2/unsplash-image-OgvqXGL7XO4.jpg Lens Neurofeedback https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609d3f02f0a3157a10b19ce7/1779315950773-0KUJ7X3K3Q8NL8D9J9KI/unsplash-image-OgvqXGL7XO4.jpg Lens Neurofeedback https://www.westhoustonpsych.com/psychological-testing-and-assessments daily 0.75 2026-05-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609d3f02f0a3157a10b19ce7/1631128280059-0ZUQAIA7VVHPMJHT4Z6I/adhd-evaluations+%281%29.png Psychological Testing and Assessments https://www.westhoustonpsych.com/monica-garza daily 0.75 2026-02-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/609d3f02f0a3157a10b19ce7/c36e2ea9-61c0-4a89-af28-393f2f3b1127/2K2A1437.jpg Monica Garza, PhD - Monica Garza, PhD, MPH Psychologist https://www.westhoustonpsych.com/new-page-2 daily 0.75 2026-01-12 https://www.westhoustonpsych.com/patient-rights daily 0.75 2026-05-05 https://www.westhoustonpsych.com/meet-our-team-1 daily 0.75 2026-05-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/f3dcefac-6b56-4f80-be43-9a353a7c6a77/imgg-demo-Aq8H491F.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1755273032837-DYNU1ILVHL3BOZA9LO36/imgg-demo-7Oaq5XfL.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1755273032841-6QB2GP98IEDI9PL2XY77/imgg-demo-EpGLe4Je.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1755273032844-5UNSLBUF8TABL5QBRGFW/imgg-demo-VLVe4WGt.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1755273032848-WRJO6PIDLN2BVS6QS6FH/imgg-demo-QM1usOas.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1755273032852-SXN34YQFG0TL3X4S6N8A/imgg-demo-nRrNzbfO.png
