What is Play Therapy?

 

Play Therapy is a developmentally appropriate, evidence-based way to work with children in counseling.​​​​

​

Children communicate through their behavior, and their play.  Play is how they process the world around them, make sense of past or current events, express feelings, and develop a sense of self.  

 

The brain learns best by EXPERIENCE, and that’s especially true for children.  Play allows a child to express themselves in their most natural way, and feel understood by a safe adult. 

 

Play therapy sessions can be one-on-one with your child and myself, parent-child or family sessions, or a combination.  We will work together to figure out the best option for your family.
