Why Play Therapy?
It is important to remember that play is the language of children. It is also an easy thing to forget…
AND talk therapy at any age only gets you so far. We offer a range of experiential approaches to engage clients mentally, emotionally, physically, energetically and more.
Play Therapy is defined by the Association of Play Therapy as “the systematic use of a theoretical model to establish an interpersonal process wherein trained Play Therapists use the therapeutic powers of play to help clients prevent or resolve psychosocial difficulties and achieve optimal growth and development."
Put more simply, play is a powerful tool to build rapport, engage the client and allow a natural means for processing and expression.
Our therapists have and are going through rigorous training and supervision to ensure they are providing the best care possible. These trainings include both directive and nondirective approaches that span Adlerian therapy, Theraplay, Child Centered Play Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and more. Please feel free to ask us any questions about play therapy!
“Toys are used like words for children and play is their language.”
