Child Therapy San Diego
Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy and Parenting Support
Welcome. Child Therapy San Diego, CTSD, is a practice dedicated to the psychological treatment of children and adolescents.
CTSD was founded in 2013 by Raphaella Croccia, LMFT, RPT- S, who envisioned a place where children could feel understood, heard and seen and where parents could find the support needed to raise their kids confidently in themselves and their parenting.
Our Founder:
Raphaella or Rapha, (phonetically "Haffa”) is a Licensed Psychotherapist and a Registered Play Therapist Supervisor who believes that children communicate, learn and heal through playing, making art, and exploring the world around them.
CTSD clinicians (passionately) utilize Play Therapy, among various forms of Expressive Therapies in their work.
At CTSD we honor the therapeutic space of our minor clients while working closely and collaboratively with their parents.
Our goal is to provide individualized clinical interventions, resources, education, and parenting support to our clients and their families.
Collaboration with the child's school
School can be challenging for children—not just academically, but also socially and emotionally. These aspects are essential to their overall development. Our therapists work seamlessly with the child’s school and classroom teacher when needed, ensuring comprehensive support for the child’s growth, well-being, and success.
