Play Therapy

What is so special about play therapy? How is it possible that a room full of toys and an adult can create meaningful change? We don’t have just any toys. We choose toys that facilitate expression and understanding. We create an environment with emotional processing and expressive needs of the child at the center. Baby dolls and bottles allow children to practice nurturing and empathy. Toy swords and bop bags allow them to express aggression in safe and appropriate ways. Sand trays and…

Play Therapy

Our therapists strategically utilize play therapy to help children express what is troubling them when they do not have the verbal language to express their thoughts and feelings. In play therapy, toys are like the child's words and play is the child's language. Through play, therapists may help children learn more adaptive behaviors when there are emotional or social skills deficits.

Play Therapy

Play therapy is a type of therapy where a therapist uses play, toys, and games to help the child explore, express, and safely experience the difficulties they are working through. Using play, the therapist uncovers insights otherwise unable to be heard and recognized through normal dialogue. .

Nature based Play Therapy is a child-centered intervention that takes place in natural environments such as parks, green spaces, and nature preserves. Engaging in nature-based play therapy allows for organic social interaction to occur in the presence of an adult who can act as a social buffer to children experiencing social anxiety. Nature based play therapy may be helpful for many children when clinically appropriate. . . . #thehealingplayroom #playtherapy #childparenttherapy…

Play Therapy

While it may look like an ordinary playtime, play therapy can be much more than that. A trained therapist can use playtime to observe and gain insights into a child’s problems. The therapist can then help the child explore emotions and deal with unresolved trauma. Through play, children can learn new coping mechanisms and how to redirect inappropriate behaviors. . . #thehealingplayroom #playtherapy #childparenttherapy #playtherapist #childpsychotherapy #Childparentpsychotherapy…

Play Therapy

Play Therapy . As the child plays, the therapist tries to interpret how they feel. These interpretations guide the play, allowing the therapist to test whether their theory is correct. The child’s reaction will either reinforce or reject their interpretation. Once the therapist understands what the play means, they will guide it to help the child in various ways. For example, they may help them learn to solve a problem or work through an emotion. . . #thehealingplayroom #playtherapy…

Play Therapy

Play therapy requires the therapist to go to the child’s most natural form of communication, instead of asking the child to come to ours. It is a respectful, effective, and developmentally appropriate way of being with young children. . . . #thehealingplayroom #playtherapy #childparenttherapy #playtherapist #childpsychotherapy #Childparentpsychotherapy #Circleofsecurityparenting #Circleofsecurityinternational #childparentrelationshiptherapy #behaviormanagement #therapeuticplay #childanxiety…
