Help your child express big feelings, build confidence, and grow through the power of play. Our child therapists create a warm, supportive environment where kids feel safe to be themselves. The toys and items in the room are inviting and expressive with various modalities such as art, sand, role play, figurines, puppets along with other play therapy tools. As a child progresses through the stages of play therapy, they begin to benefit by finding their voice, identifying their strengths and gaining tools to communicate their needs in a healthier way.
“Toys are children’s words and play is their language” (Landreth, G. L., 2002).
