Why play therapy?
Research has shown that play therapy is the most developmentally appropriate treatment modality for children between the ages of 3 and 11 years old. Play therapy uses a variety of play and creative arts techniques to alleviate chronic, mild and moderate psychological and emotional conditions in children that are causing behavioral problems and are preventing children from realizing their full potential. Play is the natural language of children. Play is spontaneous and uninhibited which gives the therapist greater insight as to what may be troubling the child. Children are not able to resolve their confusing feelings through words but can often communicate their troubles through play. The play therapist is trained to read the themes of play and help the parents guide the child towards a successful resolution.
