We have all heard that the more we laugh and sing, the better we feel. How does that apply to therapy for kids? Did you know that the trend these days used by learned professionals is that Hip Hop has become a promising new trend in the treatment of troubled youths? I know, we Gen X’rs and Baby Boomers gasp at the very thought!
A growing body of research suggests that those who live in violence-stricken communities are subject to post-traumatic stress at much higher rates. New York/New Jersey is certainly no exception. The inclusion of hip hop music could help start a dialogue between client and therapist through a vocabulary and framework comfortable for both.
The key to successful child therapy is staying not only “on the curve”, but seeing what is on the other side of it as well. That is why Dr. Steven Sussman has been a noted child therapist in Staten Island and Mountainside NJ for decades. He may have the answers you seek for your kid. Give him a call to arrange a consultation at either office (908) 217-8106.
