Our services
Fulfillment Family Therapy provides therapeutic services focused on achieving your relational well-being goals & family fulfillment. We believe that a child’s success is optimized by the involvement of the child’s caring adults in the therapeutic process. Our process includes an initial consultation, tailored assessment, and goal planning. We consult with parents to review progress and provide at-home strategies to implement. Our relationship-based therapeutic approach focuses on equipping family members, teachers, and other caring adults with resources and solutions to support their loved one.
Our services include:
Experiential play-based psychotherapy
Working with young children in therapy does not look like adult talk therapy. Fulfillment Family Therapy utilizes a therapeutic play space catered to the needs of children ages 3-10. We espouse that children naturally gravitate towards play for learning, processing, and healing. The toys, materials, & metaphor in the therapeutic play space are equivalent to the child’s words—while the therapist provides interpretation, teaches skills, nurtures client insight, and provides context for reorientation to wellness. Child therapy may take the format of individual therapy, filial therapy (i.e., parent + child, guided by therapist), child-parent psychotherapy, or family therapy, based the client’s needs and therapeutic goals.
Parenting Skills Work
Experiences in parenting can often leave us wondering if we are getting it right. Therapeutic support for parents is available in conjunction with, or separate from, child therapy. During sessions, parents and primary caregivers can expect to engage in self-reflection, skills work, psychoeducation, self-care, and curriculum workshops —including Active Parenting and Conscious Discipline.
