Katie Carda - Expert Pediatric Therapist in Wellesley, MA

Natural Environment Therapy

I use the client's natural environment for therapeutic activities. By working within familiar surroundings rather than clinical settings, your child develops practical skills that transfer directly to daily life, making progress more meaningful and lasting.

Process-Oriented, Child-Led Approach

I follow the child's lead so as to ensure that the area of challenge that has been identified, as well as any underlying gaps that might be leading to the same challenge or a different challenge, are addressed equally. This approach allows me to address both visible challenges and underlying developmental needs.

Music as a Path to Regulation

I have found music to be an extraordinary resource in creating a sense of felt safety for the child such that new skills can be readily accessed. Through music, your child can develop regulation skills supporting prosocial behaviors and overall development in a comfortable, engaging environment.
