I have been the leading provider of socialization groups for children with ADHD, Anxiety, and Autistic Spectrum Disorder in Monmouth County for the past 20 years. Every child can learn ways to interact positively with other children. By using a combination of play therapy, dance/movement therapy, and cognitive-behavioral strategies in the groups, children learn to be successful with their peers. I offer individual counseling sessions on parenting issues and for those children that need help with selective mutism, anxiety, and specific behavior issues not applicable to the group situation.
Dance/Movement Therapy and Play Therapy are perfectly suited for children to work through behavioral and emotional issues. Children do their "talking" through non-verbal movement - body language, breathing, and expressive movement. Play Therapy uses the child's "tools" of games, puppets, dollhouses, sand tray, and role-playing.
Dance/Movement Therapy and Play Therapy help children: 1. Express and work through feelings in positive ways to get their needs met, 2. Improve their social skills- joining in, sharing, handling teasing, body language, taking turns, 3. Learn how to handle conflicts with family and peers, and 4. Reduce anxiety.
