Therapy/Counseling
Consider psychotherapy if you would like unbiased support from a trained professional. In therapy you may discuss difficulties with processing something that has happened in your life or get support in preparing for a major life adjustment. Individual therapy can also help you address complicated family dynamics or challenges within relationships.
At Cloverleaf Family Counseling you can rely on your therapist to be someone who listens to you, provides support and encouragement, and models a healthy and positive relational experience.
Play Therapy
“Play Therapy is not the same as regular, everyday play. While spontaneous play is a natural and essential part of the developmental process, Play Therapy is a systematic and therapeutic approach. Play Therapists have earned a graduate mental health degree and are licensed mental health professionals with extensive training, supervision, and education in Play Therapy. Play Therapy incorporates a growing number of evidence-based practices and techniques and should only be utilized by specially trained mental health professionals.”
-Association for Play Therapy (APT)
Cloverleaf Family Counseling is a proud practitioner of play therapy. Our practitioners believe that play therapy can be transformative for children, parents and adults.
Cloverleaf Family Counseling provides face-to-face services in the form of Telehealth/Teletherapy to clients in California.
Potential Benefits: The benefits of using Telehealth include:
1. Convenient options including location, time, no driving, etc.
2. All services provided by Cloverleaf Family Counseling are available via Telehealth upon your consent.
3. Reduces the overall cost and time of therapy due to not having to drive to and from an office.
4. Increased availability of services to all clients, including clients with limited mobility, homebound clients, or clients with transportation limitations.
Limitations: It is important to note that there are limitations and potential challenges associated with using Telehealth. These limitations include but are not limited to the following:
1. Providers cannot see you, your body language, or your non-verbal reactions to discussions.
2. Due to technology limitations your provider may not hear all of what you are saying and may need to ask you to repeat things.
3. Technology may fail before or during the Telehealth interaction.
4. Although every effort is made to reduce confidentiality breaches, breaches may occur for various reasons.
To reduce the effect of these limitations, your provider may ask you to describe how you are feeling, thinking, and/or acting in more detail than would occur during a face-to-face session. You may also feel that you need to describe your feelings, thoughts, and/or actions in more detail than you would during a face-to-face session.
