Play Therapy
Play is often called the language of children. Children may struggle with an inability to express themselves when things are difficult. Children often do not possess the words to fully communicate struggles, fears, or areas of concern.
Play therapy creates a safe atmosphere where children can express themselves, try new things, learn more about how the world works, and work through their problems. Play therapy gives children a safe way to share and explore their world.
