Play Therapy

“In play therapy, toys are like the child’s words and play is the child’s language”
-Landreth, 2002

Play Therapy provides children a safe and welcoming space where they can explore past traumas and other complicated issues in a non-invasive manner. Through this path and mediums like Expressive Arts and Sand Tray Therapy, we help children gain confidence, develop coping strategies, and experience healing.

In our therapy sessions, we provide parents with the opportunity to support their child in their treatments. We firmly believe that the presence of a loving and supportive parent can lead to a more significant and longer-lasting change for the child and the family unit.

Your child may benefit from therapy if they struggle with:

Attachment Difficulties
Adoption Challenges
Trauma-Related Symptoms
Aggression
Toileting Issues
Eating Concerns
Sleep Disturbances
Additional Behavioral Concerns

Our clinicians have the necessary training and equipment to work with children from 2 years to 12 years old. However, due to the effectiveness of these treatments and techniques, we often employ them when working with adolescents and adults.

This video is from the Association for Play Therapy highlights the importance of Play Therapy for children and the many benefits that have been discovered by properly implementing it.

If you would rather not have your child come into the office to see their therapist and prefer to keep them at home, please consider telehealth supplemented with Filial Therapy—a form of play therapy facilitated by a parent at home.
