Play Therapy
What is Play Therapy?
Play Therapy is a proven therapeutic approach that uses play as a medium to help children express their emotions, cope with challenges, and build essential skills. It’s a safe and non-judgmental space where children can explore their feelings through games, art, storytelling, and other creative activities.
Why Choose Play Therapy?
Children often struggle to articulate their emotions in words. Play Therapy bridges this gap, allowing them to communicate in a way that feels natural and comfortable. It is particularly effective for children facing:
- Anxiety or stress
- Behavioral challenges
- Trauma or grief
- ADHD or learning difficulties
- Social or family conflicts
