Child Play Therapy

Play is the natural language of children.

 

Through play, they express their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a way that words often cannot capture. Play therapy offers a safe and supportive space for children between the ages of 4 and adolescence to process their world, build resilience, and develop healthy coping strategies.

​

In play therapy, children are given the opportunity to explore challenges and emotions through games, art, storytelling, role play, and sand tray therapy. These creative approaches help them feel comfortable while building trust with their therapist, which is essential for growth and healing.

​

Play therapy can support children in many areas, including:

​

• School-related stress and performance

• Bullying and peer relationships

• Anxiety, perfectionism, and self-esteem

• Family changes such as separation, divorce, or co-parenting transitions

• Grief, loss, and life adjustments

• Exposure to trauma and violence

• Developing friendships and social skills

​

For children in care or navigating complex family dynamics, play therapy can be especially impactful. It provides a consistent, stable environment where they can feel seen, heard, and understood while developing the tools they need to thrive.

​

Every child’s story is unique, and play therapy meets them where they are — helping them to express themselves, strengthen their sense of self, and move toward healing in a gentle, meaningful way.
