Lorraine Good LMFT

I use a combination of talk therapy and experiential therapies for preteens/teens/young adults. This allows me to tailor the therapy to the specific child I am working with.

I provide parent support utilizing Child Parent Relationship Therapy which allows you to both strengthen your relationship with your child in a way that results in more desired behaviors.

I use Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) to treat children 3-10. CCPT is designed for children ages 3–10 who are experiencing social, emotional, behavioral, or relational disorders. CCPT aims to create a safe and consistent environment that allows children to grow. CCPT is a one-on-one intervention that uses play and the therapeutic relationship to improve children’s functioning.

Expressive arts therapy is a multimodal approach to therapy. Expressive arts therapy may incorporate writing, drama, dance, movement, painting, and/or music. People utilizing expressive arts therapy are encouraged by a qualified therapist to explore their responses, reactions, and insights through pictures, sounds, explorations, and encounters with art processes. A person is not required to have artistic ability to use or benefit from expressive arts therapy.

Play therapy creates a safe place for children to express their feelings and thoughts. It creates a relationship of trust built between the child and the play therapist. It makes way to the development of self-esteem and the coping ability of the children.

Sand tray therapy is a therapeutic approach that blends play and art therapies. Sand tray therapy is a healing process which helps the client work through any painful conscious or unconscious memories. At the end of the session, the therapist and client may reflect on and discuss the underlying meaning behind the creation. This is determined through the age of the client. Clients can also work through issues and come to their own solutions even without verbal processing.
