SERVICES OFFERED:
Individual Therapy:
Therapy provides individuals with the opportunity to address obstacles in their lives that are impeding intrapersonal and/or interpersonal progress. Emotional and behavioral issues (depression, anxiety, grief, anger, ADHD, PTSD) can affect daily functioning, which in turn can affect job performance, academic performance, family and social relationships and involvement in pleasurable activities. The therapist will provide feedback, guidance and, most importantly, support throughout the therapeutic process.
Play Therapy with Children:
Children, unlike adults, are not typically able to engage in “talk therapy.†Children are more active and are more expressive through play. Play therapy allows children to express their needs, wishes and problems through their natural language, play. They are able to communicate their thoughts and emotions through play activities as they work through daily life obstacles they encounter. Primary areas of focus with play therapy are for the child to understand his/her feelings, to understand feeling’s of others, and to promote cognitive development and insight. To provide children a sense of autonomy, they are permitted to choose the activity(ies) they would like to engage in during their therapy session; however, the therapist also navigates the type of activities available for the children depending on the emotional and/or behavioral issues the child is experiencing.
Psychological Evaluations:
Vive la Vie offers full psychological evaluations help to clarify the intellectual/cognitive, emotional and behavioral functioning of an individual and help to establish a proper mental health diagnosis. Psycho-educational testing is conducted to identify the presence of a learning disorder and to address an individual’s need for special accommodations (gifted or special needs placement) in their academic setting.
