Whole Child Therapy®

The Whole Child system of therapy is an intervention for children ages birth to 16 created and trademarked by Dr. Wagner. It incorporates a multi-disciplinary approach to address mental health and developmental issues in a holistic, integrative way.

It is based on the premise that children are born whole but their lives often become fragmented by "problems," and that children’s "problems" are obstacles that they can learn to navigate. Key parts of the Whole Child Healing® include the concepts of:

Natural Developmental Stages & Individual Strengths & Weaknesses

Experiential, Repetitive, Spiral, Multi-Modal Learning

Nurturing & Attachment Promoting Environments

Parents as Teachers & Therapists

Children in Context of their Environment & Culture

Children Exist as a Whole, Not as a Problem or Behavior

Many of Children’s Difficulties Today are Results of High Stress, Overscheduling, Materialistic & Media Centered World

Creating Life Rhythms is Healing

Creating Low Tech, Imaginative, Natural Environments is Healing

Movement is Therapeutic and Promotes Learning

A holistic, integrative approach to healing brings together the fragmented mind, body and spirit.
