Our Services

Cognitive Behavior Therapy

Play Therapy is a dynamic and effective method for engaging with children and adolescents. Our use of Play Therapy is grounded in the belief that play is a natural medium for self-expression, allowing clients to communicate their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a developmentally appropriate way.

Play Therapy

Applied Positive Psychology

Applied Positive Psychology is a collaborative approach that empowers individuals to build on their inherent strengths, foster positive emotions, and cultivate a life that aligns with their values and aspirations. It offers a refreshing perspective within the therapeutic landscape by emphasizing the promotion of well-being rather than just the alleviation of distress.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy has proven to be effective in helping individuals gain insight into their thought processes, develop coping skills, and create lasting changes in both thoughts and behaviors. Its practical and evidence-based approach has made it one of the most widely used therapeutic modalities for a range of psychological concerns.

My son enjoyed his time with Bill Deggs very much. I appreciated Bill's willingness to meet my son where he was, even playing silly games, answering crazy questions and taking him outside to get some big movements in.

I would absolutely recommend Fyt Clinic to anyone seeking help for their child!
