Child and Family Counseling


Child Therapy Manhattan Beach Cynthia M. Braden

"If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales."

-Albert Einstein

When choosing a Therapist for your family, don't forget, a child's brain is wired for fantasy! Elements of fantasy and metaphor are often used in Child and Family Therapy. Fantasy and metaphor are useful for modeling, providing a safe place for self-expression and promoting empathy.
When therapy involves kids, art, play and psychodrama may be used in addition to “talk therapy.”  The key is to provide a child-centered environment where the child has the opportunity to express his feelings appropriately in a way that does not depend on his verbal skill or maturity. This is where a therapist who has advanced training in child-centered modalities can help.

Our goal is to assist in improving the quality of life for children who face challenges associated with a wide range of family, sibling, school or other problems. We provide counseling services that are tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual or family.
