Groups for play therapy and social skills training (SST) are available. Please call for these schedules. Individual SST is also available.

Brief Intensive Therapy Skills (BITS for Fun) are social skills training groups. Two week courses with 3 sessions per week are designed for family going on summer vacations. Three BITS for Fun groups are offered (BITS 1, 2, and 3, which are different skill levels) for children in preschool, elementary, and young adolescent age groups. Call to find out more about these fun groups!

Group minimum is 4 and maximum is 6. Sessions are $50 each and groups are paid in full in advance. There are no make-up sessions due to the time-frame and intensity.

You may contact the mental health section of your insurance company to see if they pay, as some may reimburse sessions for this treatment. There is a pre-assessment for group that requires contact with parents and child to determine appropriateness for each group.
Play Therapy groups for preschool children are offered throughout the year and summer.

Summer schedule: Children ages 3 - 4 on Mondays 10 - 1 a.m.
Limit of 3 - 4 children, depending on the complexity of the children.

Dr. Wallingford completed a certification program for Play Therapy in June of 2006. She holds a certificate for dealing with Chronic and Disabling Disorders from the Child Development Center at The University of Kansas Medical Center.

Scholarships are available on a sliding scale. The majority of children seen are fee-for-service. If requested, Dr. Wallingford will inquire about your insurance company's willingness to seek out-of-network services.
