Depending on the child’s needs, different therapy options are chosen, such as play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, or exposure therapy. Furthermore, Ines Maynard is trained in emotional regulation skills programs, such as the Zones of Regulation. Children can learn be aware of their emotions, explore coping skills and receive individualized visuals and other tools, which can be used at home or at school.
