Play Therapy

For children between the ages of 3-12 years old.

Play therapy is a method of counseling with children that uses both play (children's natural form of communication) and verbal communication.  Play therapy helps the child express thoughts feelings, conflicts, confusion, and curiosity.  During play therapy the child can practice social skills,  overcome upsets, traumas, or frightening feelings.  Play therapy makes every effort to help the child express his/her needs and allow the child to discover solutions in a safe environment for the child to heal and grow.
