What Is Play Therapy?
For adults, therapy often starts with talking. For children, communication can look different.
Children naturally use play to communicate, explore, learn and make sense of their experiences.
Play therapy provides a safe, supportive environment where children can use play, creativity and developmentally appropriate activities to express themselves and work toward therapeutic goals.
Play isn't a break from the therapy. For children, play can be part of the therapy.
