​What is Play Therapy?

Play therapy helps children explore their emotions and experiences in a safe, therapeutic environment. We use both non-directive and directive play therapy techniques to meet the unique needs of each child.

Non-Directive Play Therapy
The child leads the play, revealing their feelings naturally.
Our role:

• Interpret the child’s play to understand underlying challenges.
• Collaborate with parents to develop strategies for healing.

Directive Play Therapy
Activities are selected to teach skills or address specific challenges.
This approach may involve the whole family to foster understanding and support the child’s growth.

---

By acting out through play a frightening or traumatic experience or situation symbolically, and perhaps changing or reversing the outcome in the play activity, children move toward an inner resolution, and then they are better able to cope with or adjust to problems.
