Emily is the clinical director/owner of Joyworks Counseling. She offers over 15 years experience working with families, including nearly 10 years working with children who were victims of severe abuse and neglect. She is trained in Theraplay, Child Centered Play Therapy, Adlerian Play Therapy, Sandtray Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused-CBT, Adoption Competency, Brainspotting, and Prepare/Enrich.
Since young people learn most quickly through play, we use play-based approaches to help improve behavior, mood and relationships. We have invested in extensive post-Masters training that allows us to utilize the best evidence-based approaches and understand Child Development and Child Psychology. We believe that parents are our "co-therapists" and prefer active parent involvement in treatment whenever possible.
Play provides a wide variety of benefits for children. Through play, children build and strengthen socio-emotional and cognitive skills. Children at play have agency (control over their own actions) and feel socially and emotionally safe. They express themselves freely, trying out different behaviors or ideas, without fear or anxiety.
We've known sandtray therapy is powerful for years (since the 1930s) but have only fairly recently realized WHY it's so powerful. We can now peek inside the brain with fMRI's and understand how our brain processes information. Information is processed first with pictures and THEN with words and linguistics are attached to it.
