Child Therapy Institute
We at The
Child Therapy Institute seek to increase awareness that our
community's children are a precious resource to be nurtured, protected,
and guided into adulthood. We also seek to assist parents and adults to
work towards a healthy, integrated sense of self, so that they may
bring their unique strengths and abilities into their families and into
the larger community. We serve children, youths, and adults from
diverse cultural and economic backgrounds who have a variety of
problems, including sexual abuse, behavioral and emotional
difficulties, and adjustment disorders. We also train graduate students
in the art of depth psychology focused especially on sandplay therapy
so that may facilitate healing in the lives of others. Workshops are
offered throughout the year for therapists. For more information, contact 415-456-7724, or click on link above.
