In a warm and bright space, we host the Child Psychology Center "Internus," where we offer our services to our young friends and their parents. Preschool and school-age children experience positive and negative emotions daily, just like adults. It is a great mistake to believe that because they are young, they do not understand, as children perceive things in their own unique and innocent way. With this in mind, our center strives to provide the child and their family with a healthy psychological environment through its services, enabling them to express themselves spontaneously and freely through play, drawing, and our other activities.
