Contact Donna Bivona, LMHC, Registered Play Therapist
Changes in your child's behavior and emotional state may be a signal that something is troubling him or her. Has your child's behavior changed? Is your child angry, depressed, or have unexplained fears? Are their changes in your child's environment like a divorce or separation? I specialize in play therapy with children ages 3-12. Play is non-threatening and fun! Children use toys to communicate what is troubling them. As your child plays, internal worlds become external. Through play, your child can express concerns and work through them. Parenting is rewarding as you watch your child gain new skills, but it can also be challenging. I'm committed to helping families cope during difficult times. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Registered Play Therapist, we could collaboratively address your concerns. I am also trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy, which is a revolutionary approach to counseling. It Utilizes eye movements to process information and has produced effective results in treating anxiety, phobias, and depression in children and adults. I've recently become a Basic DIRFloortime Provider, assisting families with preschool children diagnosed on the autism spectrum. Parents are training to play while increasing their child's attention and connection!
