Child Services

1) Services for Children: Growing up today often feels like juggling countless roles at once—student, friend, even a little superhero saving the day. But amid all the chaos, there's often a need for a safe space, a sanctuary where kids can share their highs and lows, fears, and dreams. That's where a child therapist comes in. Life is about connections, about trust and understanding. If your child needs someone who truly listens and cares, I'm here to walk alongside them on this journey we call life. Therapy isn't just for adults; children face mental health challenges too. Our focus is nurturing their emotional well-being, tailoring support to their unique needs, and emphasizing skill development over diagnosis labels.

2) Services for Children with Special Needs like ASD and ADHD: Does your child struggle with ADHD, behavioral challenges, or social-emotional hurdles? At Roots and Tales, our therapists specialize in working with children with unique needs. Our program equips them with essential skills like self-control, empathy, and responsible decision-making, fostering independence and resilience. We understand the importance of addressing the whole child, beyond their diagnosis. Through a supportive therapeutic relationship, we empower children to thrive not just in childhood but as they grow into adulthood. Breaking the stigma surrounding mental health, we invest in children's emotional well-being early, laying the foundation for a healthier life journey.

Our nature-based educational program is dedicated to nurturing children's curiosity and fostering a deep connection with the natural world. Just like tree roots support the tree, our experiences shape us, and through understanding these roots, children can better understand themselves. Each child has their own unique story waiting to unfold. At "Roots and Tales," we provide a safe space for children to explore, discover, and learn in an environment that celebrates their individuality. Nature-based play is at the heart of our program, sparking curiosity and allowing children to explore with their senses. At Roots and Tales Clinic, physical activities are tailored to each child's needs, fostering fine and gross motor skills development. From balancing on logs to exploring rocks, collecting flowers, or engaging with water, children progress at their own pace while immersed in nature's wonders.

Outdoors, children experience a rich sensory environment, perfectly suited for their receptive minds. They delight in the scents of leaves, soil, and flowers, the textures of grass and mud, and the sounds of running water and bird calls. Unlike indoors, where overstimulation can occur, the outdoor space allows all senses to engage without overwhelming, nurturing children's sense of wonder and connection with nature. Led by experienced educators, our nature program encourages children to become leaders of their own experiences. Through immersive activities, children learn to connect with nature and discover more about themselves along the way.

Group therapy for children plays a key role in fostering their emotional and social development. By creating a supportive group setting and a secure environment for children to express themselves, it boosts their confidence and self-esteem while helping them gain vital skills such as communication, empathy, and teamwork. An essential benefit of group therapy is the sense of belonging and validation it instills, reassuring children that they're not alone in their challenges. Interacting with peers exposes them to diverse perspectives, facilitating mutual learning and fostering a sense of community. These sessions often incorporate tailored activities aimed at improving specific skills like problem-solving or emotional management.
