What is Play Therapy?

Play therapy is a unique form of therapy designed specifically for children. Our team of compassionate, experienced, and licensed therapists understands that young children may not have the language skills or emotional maturity to express themselves fully in traditional talk therapy. That’s where play therapy comes in.

During play therapy sessions, your child will engage in various forms of play activities, such as pretend play, art therapy, or sandbox therapy, all within a safe and supportive environment. Through these activities, our highly trained therapists can gain valuable insights into your child’s inner world, their emotional state, and any underlying issues they might be facing.

How Does Play Therapy Help?

Play therapy is much more than just playtime. By carefully observing your child at play, our therapists can identify areas of concern, unresolved trauma, or negative coping mechanisms. They can then use the power of play to help your child:

  • Develop healthier ways to express their emotions, such as anger, sadness, or anxiety.
  • Learn and practice new coping skills to deal with challenging situations.
  • Improve communication and social interaction abilities.
  • Build self-esteem and confidence.
  • Work through difficult experiences and past traumas in a safe and controlled way.
