Play is children’s language. Long before they have words for their experiences, children communicate through play—working through fear, loss, confusion, and trauma in the only language they’ve mastered. Play therapy is a structured, evidence-based approach that uses play as the primary therapeutic medium, meeting children exactly where they are developmentally.

How It Works
Play therapy sessions take place in a specially equipped playroom with a range of toys, art supplies, sand trays, and expressive materials. The therapist follows the child’s lead while observing themes and patterns in play, offering reflections and gentle interventions. Parents receive regular updates and are often involved in filial therapy components.
Who This Is For
Play therapy is most appropriate for children ages 3–12. It is particularly valuable for children who struggle to verbalize their experiences, have experienced trauma, or are going through significant life changes.
