Every child is unique. Dr. Visser tailors her methods to the specific needs of each client, drawing from a range of proven therapeutic modalities.
Structured, goal-oriented therapy connecting thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Includes Trauma Focused CBT (TF-CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD and anxiety.
For younger children, play is a natural medium for expression and healing. Play therapy allows children to communicate and process in their own language.
Creative therapies that engage different modes of processing — particularly valuable for children who find traditional talk therapy challenging.
Dr. Visser recognizes the importance of including families and conducts family sessions to equip parents to support their children throughout the therapy process.
Tremendous knowledge in the area of gender differences — respecting and embracing boys' unique needs for movement and activity.
Every session is conducted in a safe, welcoming space where children and families feel heard, valued, and empowered to grow together.
