 FAQs

  • Play therapy is a highly effective, evidence-based approach that helps children process emotions and change behavior in a developmentally appropriate way. Through play, children can express feelings for which they may not have the words, work through anxiety, trauma, or stress, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. 

    Sand tray therapy, puppet play, and art-based activities allow children to explore their experiences and emotions. Over time, play therapy can lead to improved self-concept, better self-regulation, and stronger relationships with caregivers and peers.

  • EMDR is a highly effective, evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals process and heal from trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and distressing life experiences. By using structured phases of treatment that include guided eye movements or other dual attention stimulus, EMDR helps reprocess painful memories, reducing their emotional intensity and impact.
