Child Play Therapy and Family Therapy Program

At STA we realize that children have specialized needs. Each developmental stage has its own particular set of issues and treatment must be specialized to each stage in order to be effective. At STA we are staffed with child psychologists, school psychologists, child and family nurse practitioner and other professionals who are trained on the various developmental stages and the needs of children. We have practitioners who can use creative arts and play therapy techniques. We have psychologist testers who are trained in assessing and diagnosing children. STA is a special place for children to receive the age appropriate services they deserve.

You will not find another place that is so developed in child services that we are able to provide integrative health services for mind body optimal functioning. We provide specialized laboratory testing for children and teens to help restore the best level of functioning for their minds and bodies. Using a functional medicine approach you may be able to achieve higher levels of functioning that may preclude the need for medication and/or achieve optimal brain development at these very sensitive stages in a child’s development.
