Children process the world differently than adults—they speak through play, imagination, and creativity. Play therapy creates a safe, supportive space where children can explore their feelings, work through challenges, and build healthy emotional and social skills, all through the natural language of play. For children ages 3 and up.
What Is Play Therapy?
A developmentally appropriate approach to counseling that uses toys, art, storytelling, and games to help children:
- Express difficult emotions like anger, sadness, fear, or confusion
- Learn to manage big feelings in safe, healthy ways
- Build confidence and problem-solving skills
- Process trauma or loss
- Strengthen relationships with parents, caregivers, and peers
Whether a child has experienced a major life change or is simply struggling to cope, this therapy can help them feel seen, understood, and supported.
When Is It Helpful?
Play therapy may be helpful for children dealing with:
- Anxiety or separation issues
- Grief or loss
- Trauma or abuse
- Behavioral challenges
- ADHD or impulse control issues
- Family transitions like divorce or adoption
- Social difficulties or bullying
We use evidence-based techniques in a fun, engaging environment to help children develop tools that serve them well—both now and as they grow.
