Selective Mutism in Teenagers?

I'm seeing this poor kiddo who has had a lot of trauma at a very young age. She doesn't have the best family support as her dad walked out on the family. I'm mainly seeing her for medication management, but I would like to do some therapy if she opens up. However, I swear she is selectively mute and doesn't engage at all. Is there any good articles on how to approach this? I've tried doing a board game, but she seems too nervous to open up and just looks at the floor during our sessions...
