Play Therapy

Play therapy is a theoretical approach for children ages 2 years-12 years. Supported by research, this approach allows children to express themselves and enhance their interpersonal skills through play. Play is a natural part of childhood and an important factor in child development. In play therapy, the toys become a child's words and play is their language. Therapists use play therapy to help children express their thoughts and emotions when they do not have the words to express their feelings. 

​

Through play, therapists can help children learn coping skills, identify helpful behaviors, better understand their emotions, enhance problem-solving skills to resolve inner conflicts, and build healthy interpersonal relationships. The therapist's primary role is to help facilitate this growth in building a positive and trusting relationship in a safe environment.
