Child Play Therapy

Helping Your Child Thrive

Play therapy is a special way to help kids, usually ages 3 to 12, who might be having a tough time expressing their feelings or dealing with challenges. Instead of talking like adults do in therapy, kids use play—like toys, games, or drawing—to share what’s on their mind. A trained therapist creates a safe, welcoming space where your child can feel free to be themselves. This approach uses things like dolls, art supplies, or pretend play to help kids work through big emotions or tough experiences, like family changes, loss, or stress, in a way that feels natural and fun for them.

A flexible approach tailored specifically to your child.

Why It’s Great for Kids!

As a parent, you want your child to feel happy, confident, and ready to face the world. Play therapy can help do that by boosting confidence, easing worries and sadness, improving social skills, and strengthening family bonds.

Play therapy meets your child where they are—using play, their natural way of communicating, to help them heal and grow. It’s a fun, engaging way for your child to manage emotions and develop skills that will help them at home, at school, and with friends.

If you’re looking for a way to support your child through tough times, play therapy could be the perfect fit!

Help Your Child Set and Reach Goals

Play therapy is all about helping your child to:

  • Process Big Feelings: Whether it’s anger, sadness, or confusion from things like a divorce or a tough event, play therapy helps kids make sense of their emotions.

  • Learn to Stay Calm: Kids learn healthy ways to handle frustration or stress, which can mean fewer meltdowns at home or school.

  • Build Trust: The therapist becomes a safe person for your child to open up to, which can make them feel more secure.

  • Grow Smarter and Stronger: Through fun activities like role-playing, kids practice making decisions and solving problems, skills they can use at home and school.
