Because children behave and think differently from adults, therapy with children is approached in a unique way. Play therapy is a means by which therapists help children to express and address emotional issues. Through play, a child can better communicate thoughts and feelings. Typical tools in a child psychologist’s office may include games, puppets, and art materials. During a session, a therapist may use these tools to help the child work through anxiety and conflicts or help the child express him or herself fully.

At Apple Psychological Associates we provide services that include diagnostic and psycho-educational evaluations, as well as psychotherapy with individuals, families, couples, and groups. When necessary we will provide consultation with schools and any other treatment providers.
