Don’t know what to do next to help your child?
When we first become parents, many of us expect a story that is full of love and connection as we raise happy and healthy kids.
The problem is that sometimes the story doesn’t always go as we planned. Our kids' behavior issues make us feel burnt out, hopeless, alone, or full of guilt about how we’re responding to the situation.
At Head & Heart Family Therapy, we believe your child is too important to let behavior issues and communication challenges come between you and your child disrupt the peace in your home. We use a proven play-based therapy process that’s helped dozens of families here in the Inland Empire start living a story of more calm, peace, and connection with their children.
There is good news - you don’t have to face this journey alone.
We team up with parents and provide supportive play therapy that addresses behavior issues and helps families grow closer.
Why Parents Love Working With Us
Support Both Children + Parents
As the saying goes, “it takes two to tango” which holds true in the relationship with your child. That’s why we provide guidance for both children and their parents through one-on-one sessions with your child, sessions with both of you, as well as parent-only consultation sessions.
Neurodivergence, Disability + Autism Trained
Learning how to navigate a world that is not always adaptable for your child can be filled with challenges and uncertainties. Our play therapy sessions work well with children who struggle with little to no engagement or who are non-verbal.
Play-Based Treatment
Play Therapy isn’t just play, it’s communication. Developmentally, children do not have the ability to be rational like adults, so naturally, play is their first language. I strategically help children express what is troubling them when they do not have the verbal language to express their thoughts and feelings.
Child-Centered Approach
An adaptive and affirming play therapy approach for children of all abilities. Our play therapy sessions create opportunities for adaptive play times to improve connection and relationship development. This approach will be taught to parents to implement in their homes.
