Play therapy is an evidence-based approach designed specifically for children. Instead of asking kids to explain what’s wrong (something that can be overwhelming or impossible at their age), play therapy allows them to express themselves through toys, art, movement, and imagination. In the therapy room, every game, drawing, or role-play is a way for your child to communicate what’s going on inside.
What is play therapy?
Children learn, process, and heal through play. With the support of a trained therapist, play therapy can help your child:
Build emotional awareness and self-control
Process grief, trauma, or big life changes
Manage anxiety, fears, and worries
Improve social skills and confidence
Strengthen family relationships
Play therapy meets your child where they are—helping them grow emotionally, socially, and mentally in a way that feels natural and safe.
