Child Play Therapy

Children ages 2-9

Play is our first language. It is the mode in which children communicate before they have fully developed language skills. Often times, children show us their feelings and desires through their behavior. Children often know what they need and may struggle to communicate that need. These 45-minute child-centered therapy sessions allow the child freedom to process what they need to when and how they need. This process gives them a sense of control when they may feel out of control in other areas of their life. We use play therapy with children as young as 2 through the age of 9.

As a Certified Play Therapist, I focus on discovering the feelings beneath the behavior and assist the child with finding the voice they need to communicate and, ultimately, bring awareness to their challenges. 

We work collaboratively with the child and family to help with the behaviors at home and school. Working together is an essential part of the therapeutic process for everyone involved.
