I counsel children utilizing Play Therapy, which is the most developmentally appropriate counseling intervention for children. In Play Therapy children are given the opportunity to ‘play out’ feelings and problems just as an adult ‘talks out’ feelings and problems in talk therapy. Play Therapy utilizes play, children’s natural medium of expression, to help them express their feelings more easily through toys instead of words.
Play Therapy is intended to help children become more responsible for behaviors, develop more successful strategies, develop respect and acceptance of self and others, while learning new social and relational skills. If you would like to learn more about how Play Therapy might help your child, contact me today for your free 15-minute phone consultation.
