"The Annex" features three therapy rooms:

Child play therapy room
Sand tray therapy room with a small play area
Teen therapy room

In the child play therapy room, children have opportunities to explore real life experiences, develop self-control, express their needs symbolically (without any need for verbalization since play is their primary language), learn a wide range of feelings, and grow in insight and self-understanding, all in the context of a therapeutic relationship with a trained therapist. Toys are selected intentionally to provide a safe and therapeutic setting.

Using the sand tray in counseling is a creative technique where a person expresses their understanding of themselves, their world, and aspects of their reality through figurines or miniatures. The scenes created in a sand tray reflect the child or teen's past and present inner thoughts, feelings, and struggles. The sand tray therapy room provides a place for this expression within a safe environment with a trained therapist.

Our teen therapy room is designed for older children and teens to offer them a space that allows them to navigate the challenges of adolescence while fostering personal growth and self-discovery. The room is equipped with art supplies, therapeutic games and activities to build skills, and of course a trained therapist.

These new rooms serve a profound purpose! They are carefully designed to create a nurturing environment where children and teenagers can develop important skills, express themselves freely, and build resilience. The Neuro Harmony Annex is a place where healing, growth, and self-discovery are given the space they deserve. So, whether you're a parent looking for help for your child, or a teenager seeking support and understanding, we invite you to visit our new Annex at Neuro Harmony. Together, let's create a community where every child and teenager can thrive and reach their full potential!
