Children

Children can benefit from Play Therapy when they experience life challenges such as family dynamic changes, medical trauma, and developmental delays. Some signs that your child may benefit from play therapy are behavioral issues, complaining of stomach aches, and noticing developmental regressive behavior.

Adolescents

Adolescents begins in middle school years and continues till about 19 years old. This time brings a slew of challenges with changing hormones, peer struggles, emotion dysregulation, low self-esteem, and for some, eating disorders, self harm, and bullying. At Lotus, we have several counselors equipped to support your teen in their unique stage of life.

Couples & Families

Couples therapy is a great tool when your relationship needs support. Some couples seek therapy to better understand one another, grow in communication skills, and work through life’s challenges. Couples therapy is great if you are needing a little “tune up” where you and your partner are looking to strengthen your relationship and even for those in a crisis where your relationship may have been struggling for a while.
