Play Therapy

Play therapy for children ages 4-11, is a form of therapy that children use play to communicate at their own level and at their own pace. For children to play out their experiences and feelings is the most natural dynamic and self-healing process in which they engage. Play Therapy helps children communicate their experiences through play, a child must be approached and understood from a developmental perspective.

It is a dynamic approach to counseling that allows the therapist to fully experience the child’s world and the child’s personality.

Our trained clinician guides the child during play therapy that takes places in our safe space, to learn to understand more about their own feelings and thoughts.

Sometimes they may re-enact or play out traumatic or difficult life experiences in order for each child to make sense of their past and cope better with their future.
