A child’s developing mind, brain, and body is affected by the difficulties he or she encounters, including attachment and relational difficulties at home and at school, aggression, bullying and anti-social experiences, attention challenges and concentration problems, and chronic trauma. Since a child’s healthy sense of self is built upon a secure attachment with caregivers, we will explore interventions for working with our younger clients and their families through the lens of both family and group psychodynamic psychotherapy. In the wake of the emerging appreciation that physical action is necessary to initiate new ways of perceiving reality and promote new behavior patterns, somatic interventions will be illuminated through the lens of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy promoting resiliency, developing resources, regulating arousal and creating new competencies in an action-oriented atmosphere of curiosity, play, and discovery.
