"The Therapist's Notebook for Teletherapy with Children and Adolescents provides an impressive look at telehealth for children and adolescents. Sections 1 and 2 provide valuable insights on setup, preparation, and materials. Sections 4 through 12 provide readers with interventions that can be easily implemented through telehealth. These interventions address a wide variety of topics such as mindfulness, emotions, anxiety, trauma, and attachment. For therapists working with children via telehealth, this book is a valuable asset to have within reach of your computer." Robert Jason Grant, EdD, LPC, RPT-S, AutPlay(R) Therapy, author of The AutPlay Therapy Handbook and Play Interventions for Neurodivergent Children and Adolescents "When I first started doing teletherapy with kids, I thought, "How am I supposed to keep their attention through a screen?" This book is the answer I wish I had. It's packed with 50 creative interventions that take teletherapy from "just talking" to fully engaging. I love how it covers everything - even using green screens to make therapy feel magical.
The chapters on culture and gender especially spoke to me because they bring inclusivity and representation front and center. This toolkit can help you make teletherapy effective, fun, and transformative. If you work with young clients online, you need this on your shelf." Carmen Jimenez-Pride, LCSW, RPTS, ICST-P, RST-C/T, host of the Diversity in Play Therapy Summit "This book makes the monotony of teletherapy feel full of possibility. It's thoughtfully packed with creative, developmentally-attuned interventions designed to spark connection and play, even through a screen. The authors offer ideas that are as practical as they are imaginative. A definite go-to guide for bringing joy, movement, and intention back into the virtual therapy space." Jamie Watson, LMFT, RPT-S, instructor of clinical mental health counseling, University of Western States, and owner of Jamie Watson Consulting, Inc.
