Programs

Creative Expression

Creative expressions are techniques that help children express themselves beyond words or traditional therapy. Creative and therapeutic activities have physical, intellectual, social and emotional benefits. For example, they can improve self-esteem; relieve boredom; improve cooperation; help children develop new skills; promote independence; and enhance communication skills.

Mindfulness Meditation

Mindfulness is the practice of cultivating awareness of thoughts, emotions and physical sensations. Children are guided through a process of paying attention to their breath. By integrating breathing and relaxation techniques, children will develop emotional resilience and fend off negative thoughts and behaviors, allowing them to become much calmer individuals.

Self-Esteem and Positive Body Image

Self-esteem reflects the opinion individuals have of themselves, as well as how they feel valued and respected. Body image, an important component of self-esteem, is the mental picture one has of their body - what it looks like versus how one perceives it look likes. Boosting a child’s self-esteem will directly affect how they take care of themselves emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

Testimonials

Just a note to express our gratitude to you.  You have helped Kyle through hypnosis again, and again. We came to you for his fear and anxiety playing ball – batting. We knew there had to be something wrong since he loves the game. In two simple sessions, you helped him get over his fear and get on the field.  I know Kyle called you personally to tell you that his team went on to win 3 games in a row and got to playoffs.  Thank you Liza – you were a lifesaver for our son.

The leap to adulthood can be a tremendously frustrating period for an inexperienced teenager.  Lack of knowledge and life experiences often prevent us from making wise decisions along the way.  In such cases, it is important to find comfort in someone who is willing to listen without forming judgmental opinions.  Someone like Liza.
