Play is children’s natural mode of expression. In a Play Therapy session, children are able to work through their situations in their own way.  Using reflective listening and freedom of expression, children gain confidence and creative problem-solving skills to understand themselves better.

 Children may use sand, storytelling, art, games, puppets, and other Expressive Arts modalities to manage their feelings, thoughts, and experiences. As children build their self-esteem, their relationships with friends and family improve.

Through Play Therapy, children learn about themselves and their surroundings, their capabilities, and their limitations. Through play, children learn new skills, such as how to handle anger and frustration, problem solve and increase their self-esteem and ability to communicate.
