This short story for
children
follows
one
character,
Natty,
through
a
scene
at
the
playground
where
another
child
gets
angry
and
starts
throwing
sand.
It
offers
ideas
about
ways
to
deal
with
anger
and
positive
ways
to
manage
the
Angry
Energy
Spikes
that
grow
inside
of
us
when
we
get
angry.
Child
readers are
invited
to
color
the
pages
and
draw
a
picture
of
what
they
themselves
look
like
when
they
get
really
angry
inside.
Book
dimensions:
7.5"
x
5.5",
soft
cover,
36
pages,
saddle
stapled.

This is an effective series
of sixteen
workbooks
that
invite
children
to
create
their
own
projective
stories
to
help
them
process
challenging
situations
and feelings.
They
can
be
used
by
children
during
their
play
therapy
sessions
and parents
can
use
them
as
an
activity
to
do
during
quality
play
time
with
their
child.
Each workbook has
a general
story
line
and
children
are
invited
to
draw
illustrations
to
go
along
with
the
open-ended
story
that
they
create.
Each
title
has
a
workbook
written
for
either
a
girl
or
a
boy so
they
can
relate
more
specifically
to
the
story.
Book
dimensions:
8.5"
x
11",
soft
cover, 10
pages,
side
stapled.

Pay Patients
For maximum

options,
use private
pay.
None of your personal
treatment information
is
required by
insurance

you
are free
to
decide
your

therapy to
best
meet
your

Bring a check

have
that

at
the
beginning

A

can
be
given
if you would like to submit that to
your
insurance
for
reimbursement.
In-Network Patients
Bring a check for the
full
fee with
your
first
session, and have that ready at
the
beginning
of
the
appointment. The amount will be
adjusted
after
your
insurance
has determined their coverage
amount.
After
providing
your insurance
ID
and
date
of
birth,
our office verifies your benefits
and your
appointment
will
be
confirmed.
Please contact
your
insurance
to
determine
your
copay
and
if
an authorization is required.
Note that insurance requires
clinical
information
about
you
and imposes
limitations on
your
treatment.

Receive reimbursement directly from
your

submitting
the receipt
provided
by
our
office. Please contact
your
insurance
for details

tips,
office
receipts

their
insurance
out-of-network.
Monthly
Payments
Individuals
and
families
with
very
busy
schedules
sometimes use
a
monthly payment
schedule
to
streamline
the
process
even
further.
24-Hour
Cancellation
Your appointments are very important and they
require
a full
24-Hour
notice
in
order
to
release
your
financial
obligation.
If
you
use
insurance,
please
note
that
they
will
not
cover missed
sessions
or
late
cancellations.
These
remain
your
financial
obligation.
Call our office to determine which
billing
method
will
work
best
for you.
