Play Therapy

Play therapy is a developmentally appropriate and evidence-based approach that allows children to express thoughts and emotions in a safe, symbolic, and meaningful way. Because children often don’t yet have the words to describe what they’re feeling, play becomes the medium through which they process experiences, solve problems, and build emotional resilience.

Connecting With Children Through Play

Our therapists are trained in both non-directive (child-led) and directive (therapist-guided) play therapy approaches. Each session is tailored to meet the unique needs and goals of your child, creating a space where healing, expression, and growth can unfold naturally.

Play therapy can be especially helpful for children navigating challenges such as:

• ADHD and impulse control issues

• Anxiety and depression

• Anger and behavioral concerns

• Oppositional or defiant behavior

• Divorce or family transitions

• Grief and loss

• Bullying and peer relationship struggles

• Low self-esteem

• Trauma and attachment difficulties

Through play, children learn to identify and express their emotions, practice problem-solving, build self-confidence, and strengthen social skills — all of which support long-term mental and emotional well-being. We see play not just as fun, but as the work of childhood — a powerful and healing process that helps children thrive.
