When a client participates in individual therapy they have the opportunity to dive deeply into their past, present, and future. Individual work is confidential and collaborative and relies heavily on the therapeutic relationship to be a facilitator for change. The right fit and match of clinician and client is essential toward meeting goals of self-discovery and healing. Individual therapy is being offered in-office and virtually (i.e., tele-therapy).

Play Therapy
“Toys are children’s words and play is their language.” – Dr. Garry L. Landreth
Raleigh Psychological Services PLLC offers in-office play therapy services. Play therapy is a method of therapy that utilizes play to uncover and deal with psychological issues. Play is a natural means of expression and communication for children and a trained clinician utilizes this method to explore emotions, deal with unresolved trauma, teach coping mechanisms and social skills, and redirect inappropriate behaviors.
Play therapy is typically provided for children aged 3 to 12; however, individuals of all ages could benefit from play. Play therapy can be helpful to a variety of presenting issues, such as, but not limited to:
- Problem behaviors in school or at home
- Aggressive or angry behavior
- Family issues, like divorce, separation, or death
- Traumatic events
- Domestic violence, abuse, or neglect
