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. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dd31163de4c473f0b608bf5/1579980601018-AKN4LXFHY3ZNW0PTLN86/image-asset.jpeg Services “ Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood. — Fred Rogers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dd31163de4c473f0b608bf5/1577989248357-5OV86J9O6OGB2YA3IBSR/image-asset.jpeg Services - 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. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dd31163de4c473f0b608bf5/1577987499867-UFXK8YQYZ4MDBS4L1TVS/image-asset.jpeg Services https://fulfillmenttherapy.com/get-started daily 0.75 2026-01-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dd31163de4c473f0b608bf5/1579979167189-PS6SKO07U97P1YH2NVAB/image-asset.jpeg Get Started https://fulfillmenttherapy.com/kate-wessinger daily 0.75 2026-01-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dd31163de4c473f0b608bf5/1579987977574-JFSMSTGGJQZ1SOY2ZSHA/KateWessinger23ShariFlemingPhotography.jpg Kate Wessinger, MA - Kate Wessinger, MA, Psychotherapist & Owner Kate Wessinger, MA, Psychotherapist https://fulfillmenttherapy.com/resources-1 daily 0.75 2026-01-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dd31163de4c473f0b608bf5/1617743793997-WUVF556R5H8JZVJ2U2ND/unsplash-image-LjqARJaJotc.jpg Resources - Talking to Young Children about Race & Racism It is never too early to connect with your child on the topics of race & racism because these moments are part of the important work of raising an anti-racist child.
