ChildCenteredHealing is a client guided practice that uses art as a healing modality (also known as Art Therapy/Psychotherapy) and play to treat children and adolescents (ages 2-18) with various physical and cognitive challenges-ranging from physical handicaps, special needs diagnosis, such as Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, to gender identity questions. Sessions can be individual, sibling, group, or dyad (child-parent). Next to having the child-adolescent guide the therapeutic sessions at their own pace and abilities, Amélie van den Brink-El Makkaoui (a global nomad, with roots in Burkina Faso and The Netherlands) also incorporates mindfulness, breathing and tapping techniques, cognitive behavioural analysis and internal family systems to go deeper into the challenges for both short and long-term impact. She enjoys working closely with families which help to hone skills and achieve results. Sessions can be conducted in English or in French.
