Traumatic events and significant loses can result in long term behavioral impacts for the child. Using trauma informed care to guide practice, Marisa allows the child to set the pace for their recovery and provides them with the tools to safely share their story.
Healing wounds
Not all children who are active or have a difficult time sitting still have ADHD. Marisa uses a variety of techniques to help promote self regulation (self-soothing strategies) for children to regain control over their bodies and be present in moments that matter most. Sensory regulation and synergetic play therapy techniques are regularly used in practice.
Connecting mind & body
Using a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, person centered therapy techniques and exposure therapy, Marisa has assisted children and their families in overcoming their anxiety and encouraging them to live their best lives.
