Play Therapy

There's a communication gap between adults and children and that is why many children struggle to express their emotions and articulate to others. Children learn to understand the world through play and show their emotions through play, toys can act as symbols for children to show their inner feelings. As play therapists, we join the children in their comfort world of play. That is why many children thrive with play therapy. Play therapy is a form of therapy primarily used for children. Play therapy can be done using children's own comfort toys, blocks, trains, cars, sand, art, and many other techniques. During this time, we are able to observe and gather insight in order to help a child explore their emotions and resolve previous trauma. With play therapy, children are able to learn how to cope and redirect inappropriate behaviors. As the relationship strengthens, the child is able to become more verbal, creative, empathetic, and develop stronger social and emotional skills.
