Online play and art therapy for kids, with PCIT

Ages 1–10

Online therapy for young children and their parents, with a specialty in children ages 1 to 10. Therapists use play and art so children can express thoughts and feelings through toys and art rather than words, and teach coping strategies and ways to express feelings and build self-confidence. The practice also offers Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) and PC-CARE, in which parents get hands-on, in-the-moment coaching to build more calm, cooperative and positive family interactions. Dr. Karrie Lager is also trained in SPACE Treatment through the Yale Child Study Center, which coaches parents on tools to reduce a child's anxiety, OCD or related challenges. Sessions are held by telehealth for families located anywhere in California, and parents can start with a request for services on the website. Parent consultation by phone or video is also available.
