We are committed to helping each of our child clients achieve their full potential. Play therapy is an interactive form of psychotherapy that connects a child with a trained therapist in an environment of enjoyment and excitement. Through this interaction, a therapist can assist the child to uncover suppressed emotions, articulate problems, redirect inappropriate behaviors, and develop useful coping mechanisms.
Play therapy helps to bridge the communication gap between children and adults. By using toys and activities, the child can tell a story of their thoughts in a comfortable way. Play therapy is also very flexible and can be conformed in many ways to accommodate your child. Group play is an option, as well as directive or nondirective play!
Play therapy is typically used between the ages of 3 and 12 and can be used for a multitude of diverse topics, including:
- Anxiety
- ADHD & ADD
- Autism
- Depression
- Insomnia
- PTSD / Trauma
- Behavioral problems
- Eating Disorders
