Play Therapy

“You see a child play and it is so close to seeing an artist paint, for in play a child says things without uttering a word. You can see how he solves his problems. You can also see what’s wrong. Young children, especially, have enormous creativity, and whatever’s in them rises to the surface in free play.”

— Erik Erikson

Play Therapy is a fun, evidence-based practice.

Children’s natural way of learning is through play, which makes Play Therapy the ideal form of mental-health treatment for children. Through PT, children and families will communicate feelings, work out stressors and anxieties, and move through trauma.

Play therapy starts where the child is physically, uses his/her strengths, and addresses numerous challenges, including:

  • Anxiety or depression

  • Loss and grief

  • Transitions

  • Behavioral challenges

  • Social and peer challenges

  • Family dynamics

  • Trauma
