HELP CENTER
A List of Common Questions For Your Information
When my child comes to therapy, will they just...play?
Yes, and no. Play is the language of children and toys are their words. A therapist using play therapy techniques works as a "translator", enabling children to feel seen, heard and understood in ways that reduce the need to continue ineffective behaviors. Throughout the process of therapy, the therapist will work with parents to increase capacity for understanding play and communication with their child.
Do you only see children and families at RCCF?
At RCCF we see children, teens, adults, couples and families. Our therapists are experienced in modalities geared toward treating a variety of populations. However, we recognize that all people seeking mental health services are are part of larger systems - families, friend groups, neighborhoods, towns, jobs, states - and hold this perspective in our therapeutic work.
