Play Therapy
Play therapy helps children develop emotional language, self-regulation skills, and resilience. When children feel safe with their play therapist, they are more likely to share their thoughts, fears, concerns, and challenges. Through play and the use of art materials, the therapist can assist the child in accepting, adapting to, overcoming, and thriving in their experiences. As a result, children gain a stronger sense of self, boost their confidence, and reduce anxiety.​
Many parents believe that seeking therapy for their child is only necessary when things become unmanageable at home or at school. However, play therapy offers a helpful and safe space for children to express themselves freely, feel supported, and be heard without judgment. Establishing a good rapport with a play therapist can guide your child through difficult issues such as social pressures, sibling relationships, new family dynamics, grief and loss, pre-teen anxiety, puberty, managing expectations, and perfectionism.
