Why Biblotherapy?Biblotherapy is a therapeutic approach that utilizes children's books to support mental health and learning of a variety of skills.
Because of my background in childhood development and education, I have learned how to understand appropriate text for students of all ages, ask open-ended questions, and develop action plans to build therapeutic sessions. I find literature to be a beneficial way to teach skills, promote learning and build emotional vocabulary. |
Students of all ages are constantly trying to fit in with their peers as they learn what it means to be social beings. Sometimes, they need a little reminder that we are all unique and special and that is okay! I use these books to teach self acceptance, as well as tolerance of others different than us.

Why books?As a counselor, one of my favorite techniques is bibliotherapy. This is a form of healing that utilizes stories to help connect students to life lessons. We use children's books so often in the classroom, so students are already familiar with finding deeper meanings and connecting to characters. This page is meant to be a growing list of books that I find useful for handling unique situations that children face.
