Sandra Wasserman Family Counseling in Carlsbad Village holds California MFT license #MFT41424 and a Registered Play Therapist credential from the Association for Play Therapy. Bilingual English and Spanish sessions serve children ages three through twelve, filling a dual-language child therapy niche in the same Village corridor as The Child Psychology Center. Sand tray therapy and directive art therapy give nonverbal children structured channels for processing anxiety, grief, and anger triggers without relying solely on verbal communication. Autism spectrum and ADHD cases comprise a core caseload segment, with treatment plans that extend to parent coaching and sibling sessions within a full family systems framework. ASD treatment protocols integrate play-based impulse control training alongside sensory regulation exercises, a dual-track approach that parallels the pediatric occupational therapy programs at Eat. Play. Love. Occupational Therapy Inc. in eastern Carlsbad. Specialized sessions combine three distinct modalities — sand tray construction, directive art exercises, and structured role-play scenarios — calibrated to each child's developmental stage on the spectrum.
