In-office & telehealth psychotherapy for children ages 3-18, adults, and families in GA, NJ, and FL

We help rebuild and reunify families by teaching coping skills and better communication skills to children ages 3-18, adults, and families. We use play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and many different therapeutic interventions to meet the needs of our clients. We help children and adults learn how to understand, control, and share their emotions appropriately, and make better choices. We use play therapy with children and adolescents who have a hard time appropriately expressing themselves and talking to people about what is troubling them. We also specialize in family therapy, perinatal mental health, racial and cultural identity issues/trauma, and working with children and adolescents with behavioral challenges, as well as, parenting support and training. We provide clients with a safe, comfortable, and non-judgmental environment, to openly talk about their thoughts and feelings. We take an open-minded approach to client wellness and consider the client's work life, family traditions, cultural, and spiritual beliefs. We provide support for developing a new way of seeing and moving through life. Feel free to subscribe to Kadesha's blog at http://journeycounselingllc.com/blog.

MNAPT is committed to sharing resources to parents, teachers, therapists, daycare providers, etc. Children ask questions about what is happening at their schools, neighborhoods, what their friends are talking about. Here are some resources to help with current event conversations.
