Welcome to a space for emotional transformation for children. I am Amanda Koppe, a child therapist with over 7 years of international experience, specializing in innovative approaches such as Play Therapy, Sandplay, and Counseling.
I deeply believe in each child’s potential to overcome emotional and behavioral challenges, and my mission is to guide them in discovering that power by fostering a strong and authentic inner connection.
The bond between parents and children is the foundation of healthy emotional development. When children feel safe, loved, and understood, they develop strong self-esteem and face challenges with confidence and resilience. As a therapist, I witness this impact in every session – connection is the key.
Trained in Australia, with a specialization in working with child, youth, and family, I bring to Brazil therapeutic approaches that are internationally recognized but still underutilized here. My pioneering approach creates a safe and welcoming environment where your child can express their feelings and transform emotionally in a practical and lasting way.
Investing in your child’s emotional well-being is investing in their future. Child therapy is not just a solution for behavioral problems; it is a path to holistic development, ensuring they grow up healthy, confident, and ready for life’s challenges.
My mission is to provide children with access to evidence-based therapies that make a real difference in their lives. I believe every child has the right to grow up in an environment that fosters connection, promoting mental health, confidence, and resilience.
The purpose that guides me is to advocate for the importance of mental health in childhood by expanding the reach of Play Therapy, Sandplay, and Counseling, making these approaches accessible to as many children as possible. My goal is to help children develop a healthy self-image, strong emotional skills, and the ability to face life’s challenges with confidence and balance, so they can strengthen their inner connection and, consequently, the connection between parents and children.
Over 7 years of international experience, with training and specialization in Australia, ensure a unique expertise in Play Therapy, Sandplay, and Counseling. This experience offers an innovative and comprehensive foundation for child therapy in Brazil, introducing the latest therapeutic methods.
I am one of the first to introduce relatively new therapeutic approaches, such as Sandplay and Counseling, in Brazil. These techniques, widely recognized worldwide for their effectiveness, offer modern and effective solutions for children’s emotional and behavioral challenges, leading to profound and transformative results.
I believe every child has an innate ability to express themselves and heal through play. I use this playful approach as the primary tool for addressing emotional and behavioral issues. Play is a powerful medium for expression and healing.
Each in-person session is designed to promote a genuine emotional bond between therapist and child. Emotional connection is essential for therapeutic success, building trust and security that allow the child to develop emotionally in a healthy way.
In addition to child therapy, I offer parental guidance sessions. These sessions empower parents to understand and support their child’s emotional development, providing practical tools that strengthen the family bond and ensure therapeutic progress continues outside the therapy room.
Each therapeutic plan is tailored to the child’s specific needs. The therapies are designed to be effective without being unnecessarily prolonged. Practical tools are provided so that children and their families can achieve emotional autonomy and address future challenges independently.
The techniques used are backed by scientific research, ensuring high-quality treatment focused on positive, lasting results.
I believe in embracing and celebrating each child’s individuality. My work is based on creating a welcoming environment where all children feel valued and respected, regardless of their challenges or diagnoses.
