STORY-BOOK THERAPY
WHAT IS STORY-BOOK THERAPY?
Vanessa works with families to design individualized, custom story-books that speak directly to the problem. The content and implementation of these story-books becomes the foundation of her parent-coaching approach. Utilizing how the early mind processes and practices information, Vanessa crafts therapy supports that are a careful, responsive collaboration between child, parent, and therapist.
Vanessa's custom story-books become powerful literary tools with clear and accessible representations of language and pictures. They address the topics your child is struggling with, including death, shifting family units, power dynamics in the home, separation anxiety, new siblings, early medical procedures, and more.
The same way we, as adults, might turn to a good book to support hard or complicated times (and keep reading because we see ourselves in them), are the same reasons we invest in story-book therapy and parent coaching for young children.
