PLAY THERAPY FOR CHILDREN

Through Play Children Can Communicate Their Inner World

Offering child play therapy for children ages 6-12 (in person only). . Due to limited availability, we encourage you to call to determine if we are the right fit for your child’s needs.

Child therapy is designed to provide young children with a safe and nurturing environment where they can express their emotions and work through various challenges they may face. Children often struggle with expressing their thoughts and feelings, particularly when faced with difficult situations such as trauma, family changes, bullying, academic stress, or difficulties at school. Therapy offers them a space to talk, draw, play, and engage in other creative activities that help them communicate and process their emotions in a way that feels comfortable.
