Play-Based Therapy
Therapy that uses play as the primary way children express themselves and process emotions.
How it works
Play is their language
Play-based therapy is a developmentally appropriate approach to counseling and psychotherapy that uses play as the primary way children express themselves, process emotions, and solve problems. For kids, play is their language - and toys, games, and stories are their words.
In our sessions, children might use puppets, sand, board games, art materials, or imaginative play to:
Work through big feelings or life changes
Build emotional awareness and coping tools
Practice problem-solving and social skills
Strengthen their sense of safety, confidence, and identity
Purposeful Play
Play-based therapy is especially helpful for children who may struggle to explain what they're thinking or feeling. Guided by a registered child therapist, the play becomes purposeful and healing. This is always done at the child’s pace and rooted in trust and connection.
