Child Life Services for your family

Families should not have to navigate trauma, illness, and loss alone. As a highly skilled Certified Child Life Specialist, Shani provides support to ease these life stressors. She incorporates therapeutic play, creative arts, and education. She helps families understand what is happening and teaches them healthy coping skills.

Through an initial consultation, she will create a treatment plan that meets the client’s needs. Services are available within the family’s home or through virtual support. She serves Placer County, Folsom, El Dorado Hills, and Sacramento, as well as phone and telehealth consultations for clients outside the area.

Set up a phone or face-to-face consultation. Shani will learn more about your family's needs and create supportive goals. The following session will be direct interventions with your child in the comfort of your own home. Each session is 60 minutes, with the last 10 minutes allocated to cleaning up and debriefing with parents. Sessions can be conducted individually for kids or with the whole family.

Insurance isn't accepted; however, an itemized superbill can be offered and submitted to insurance companies for reimbursement. There is also a sliding scale option to work with your family's financial needs.

Don't let your child's struggles define their future.
