Play Therapy
We understand that play is the neurodevelopmentally appropriate way for children to communicate and to heal.
When words aren't enough, play becomes a powerful way for children to express emotions, process experiences, and build the skills they need to thrive. Through Play Therapy, we create a safe, supportive space where your child can explore their inner world at their own pace — using toys, art, storytelling, and imagination as the tools for healing.
Play Therapy helps children:
Work through anxiety, depression, or grief
Build emotional regulation and coping skills
Strengthen self-esteem and confidence
Navigate changes like divorce, relocation, or loss
Process trauma in a developmentally appropriate way
Improve social skills and relationships
In each session, we follow the child’s lead while offering therapeutic guidance tailored to their emotional needs. Parents are important partners in this process too — we'll work together to support your child’s growth both inside and outside of the therapy room.
