Below are some images to offer children and families a glimpse of what a typical therapy session with PowerWithin may involve. Confidentiality is an important aspect of the therapeutic process, so I’ve either used photos in which the identity of participants is not revealed, or used non-clients to model some of the activities we do in typical sessions. More traditional talk therapy sessions are always an option as well, especially for adolescents, but most young children show more progress and engagement with the play based approach. Many of the photos come from the the space I share with Express Yourself Therapy Clinic, which provides speech and language, occupational, and physical therapy services as well.
