Play is the way children understand and master their worlds.
The Association of Play Therapy defines 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.”
More simply put, child play therapy is a way of being with the child that honors their unique developmental level and looks for ways of helping in the “language” of the child – play.
Your child will develop critical coping and problem-solving skills that are necessary to overcoming stressful situations, building better self-esteem, and fostering healthier relationships with others.
Play therapy is a proven and effective treatment method to address concerns stemming from:
- Anxiety
- Adoption and Foster Care
- Anger and Aggressiveness
- ADHD
- Bullying and Cyberbullying
- Depression and sadness
- Difficulty making friends and relating with peers
- Divorce
- Grief stemming from the death of family or friends
- Immaturity
- Low self-esteem
- Lying
- Managing Stress
- Separation Anxiety
- Sibling Rivalry and adjusting to new baby
- Social phobias
- Speech problems
- Trauma
Enter into a children’s play and you will find the place where their minds, hearts, and souls meet.
