Play Therapy
Healthy expression through play.
What is Play Therapy?
Play therapy supports children in expressing thoughts and emotions in a nurturing environment. Sessions involve creative activities, exploring distressing events with inanimate objects, and creating a playful and story-oriented experience for children. Therapeutic playful exploration of emotions fosters self-awareness, enhanced communication, and improved emotional well-being. Offering diverse benefits, children are offered a dynamic environment to express feelings through play. Children can alleviate fear by fostering a healthy relationship with the counselor whose priority is to offer a non-threatening environment to build trust and understanding. This interactive environment deepens the child's understanding of emotions and experiences. Children will work alongside the therapist to develop boundary-setting skills that empower them to establish healthy emotional limits, cultivate emotional regulation, and develop valuable tools to navigate and manage emotions effectively. We offer a unique play therapy experience that supports each child and their unique needs. Play therapy is an investment in your child's emotional development to encourage resilience and positive growth.
