  • Play Therapy


    Play is a child’s natural language; toys are their words and play is their language. Play is a natural process that assists children with cognitive, behavioral, and emotional challenges. Play therapy helps children build trust, foster learning and acceptable behaviors, regulate emotions, promote creative thinking and problem-solving, and elevates spirit and self-esteem. Through play, a therapist is able to enter the child’s world to help them safely process their experiences and develop lifelong strategies.
