Play is WORK. Play is SPEECH. Play is IMPORTANT

What is Play Therapy?
Play Therapy is a scientific/therapeutic approach that’s been around for over 100 years. Play Therapy is typically used with children under the age of about 12, however some older kids find it easier to talk or express themselves through creative or symbolic means. You can spend time on websites learning about the extensive science behind our methodology, but a simple way to say what we do in play therapy is that we work with your kids in the language they best understand: play.

Like adults, sometimes kids need help when they’re having a hard time. But whereas adults can talk about whatever is bothering them, children are better at expressing emotions through play and storytelling. So the distinct
advantage of play therapy is that kids get to express their ideas and feelings through creativity and hands-on innovation. Incorporating the latest research on the developing mind, brain, and relationships, and
working from an interpersonal neurobiology framework, we work to better understand the needs of children who experience stress, anxiety, trauma, and other challenges and help them develop stronger emotional resilience.
Happiness is the only thing that multiplies when you share it.
Our team of play therapists and supervisors have spent many years studying and practicing evidence-based, research-supported approaches in play therapy guided by the science. We are very proud to share our knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm for teaching and working holistically with children and families.
