“A Place To Be provided my daughter with the tools and support to overcome her anxiety and discover her love for the arts. Everyone at A Place To Be has been so kind to my family, and as a result, we have built friendships that will last a lifetime.”
Joe Sable, Parent
Individual Sessions
Through close consultation between the clinical director, lead therapist, and the client, a unique set of goals and objectives will be tailored to an individual needs.
Each session will include up to 45 minutes of direct face-to-face therapy. Clients may engage in therapeutic activities such as songwriting, instrument playing, or lyric analysis. Additionally, clients and caregivers will receive a biannual progress note from their therapist.
Music Therapy
“Music was his first language – he could hum before he had words[…]they use the rhythm to help him have conversations”
The Newmans On Henry’s Work With A Place To Be
Social Groups
A variety of groups are offered to meet the needs of our community. Areas of focus include coping tools and resilience building, social-emotional skill building, self-expression and communication, and friendship making.
Many groups culminate in a final project or performance. In addition to these groups, all therapy clients are offered the opportunity to perform in our spring recital, winter recital, or other special events throughout the year.
Connection
“This is the only place he feels connected. He didn’t have that connection at school, or at soccer practice. At A Place To Be, he has it.”
The Galvez family On How Social Groups Have Helped Their Son Thrive
Summer Camps
Each summer we custom create summer camps that serve the interests of our clients and community. Offerings range from our popular musical camp, to “Pop Rocks”, where campers form a band and record music over the course of a week. Film camp sees campers collaborating on a 15-minute short film, while creative arts camps offer other opportunities for expression through painting and other artistic mediums
The goal of our inclusive camps and productions is two-fold. We believe that through performance and creative outlets, clients find ways not only to express themselves, but to work on their therapeutic goals. We also believe in the importance of visibility, and the educational and informative power these type of performances can cultivate.
Self Expression
“One highlight of the year is the Summer “Broadway” show. This production has a large cast, and is a fully produced show with all the bells and whistles. The shows are created by the creative team and custom fit for the individuals who are cast”.
