Play therapy aims to help a child’s growth and development. It is a sensible, research-supported, and developmentally-based child counseling approach to helping children cope with and overcome the problems they experience in the process of living their lives. Play therapy is an evidence-based therapeutic treatment for children and teens with mental health symptoms and developmental, social, emotional, and behavioral challenges. Play therapy has continued to evolve to assist children in feeling more comfortable to open up and express themselves through play activities as opposed to direct questioning of their problem and symptoms. Children sometimes have difficulty expressing their feelings verbally. Play therapy is a way for children to work through issues symbolically and for parents to improve the way their child is relating to them by using specific skills that our board-certified clinicians/therapist can offer and teach your kiddos.
