Child Centered Play Therapy

You might be wondering how Play Therapy works— Isn’t it just children playing with toys? Can’t they just do that at home? It's hard to describe in words, but this video helps paint a better picture:

Within a secure environment, children engage in play as a means of expressing and processing their experiences in a way that can’t compare to verbal communication. Through carefully selected toys, art materials, and interactive activities, play therapy is a channel where children can explore their developing emotions as they’re still acquiring the language required to fully express them. Our main priority as play therapists is to act as a guide, identifying each child’s unique experiences and equipping them with the coping skills that will help them overcome any challenges they may face.
