Children and families

DDP

Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) is a specialized therapeutic model designed for children who have experienced early-life abuse, neglect, or developmental trauma.

DDP aids emotional recovery by building attachment security, improving intersubjective capacity (give-and-take in relationships), and fostering a coherent autobiographical narrative within a safe family environment.

Play Therapy

When adults go through difficult times, they talk. When children go through difficult times, they play.

Play Therapy is a structured, evidence-based form of mental health treatment that helps children express feelings, process trauma, and learn healthy coping skills through their most natural language: play.

Therapeutic Life Story Work

Every child needs to know who they are and where they come from. For children who have experienced care, adoption, or early trauma, their personal histories can feel like a missing or painful puzzle.

Therapeutic Life Story Work is an evidence-based intervention - combining attachment theory, neuroscience, and trauma-informed care - designed to help children process their past, make sense of their present, and build a confident, secure future.
