What do all the supportive adults in a child's life have in common? They want kids to succeed! When it comes to helping kids build skills of learning, coping, and thriving, we are all looking for answers to the same struggles. Therapy Tools For Kids was created with these supportive adults in mind.
Working with kids can be the most rewarding work, though it can also come with its share of compassion-fatigue, heartache, and sheer exhaustion. What would happen if the tools were already gathered by a child psychotherapist for you? It would turn a potential moment of frustration into a moment of success!
I want to support the adults who support kids by making those late nights spent searching for answers, nights we can instead use to recharge. When we are at our best, the kids we serve get the best!
The idea
Hello and welcome! I'm True,
a licensed clinical social worker and therapist specializing in trauma-informed practices, social and emotional education, and building coping skills in kids through individual therapy and parent coaching.
​
Through serving kids, teens, and their families in various supportive roles I grew a passion for partnering with parents and other professionals in a whole child approach to complex emotions and tricky behaviors. I want to continue to support young humans in finding and maintaining their calm with opportunities to practice these self-regulation skills.​​
Caring adults and professionals who see kids in a therapeutic environment, while in the child's current residence, within their community, or while in a school setting could greatly benefit from having ready-made tools on hand to aid in preventing, and building skills around reacting, to dysregulation behaviors. This is exactly what Therapy Tools For Kids was made for!
