APPROACH
What is play therapy?
In play therapy, children find a safe space to express themselves and tackle challenges, with the therapist supporting their emotional and social growth. The therapist works closely with your child to build emotional awareness, improve problem-solving skills, enhance social interactions,
foster self-acceptance, and promote healing for better emotional regulation.
It's not just play. It's a path to healing and growth.
Who can benefit?
Navigating big emotions or tough times can be overwhelming for any child. Whether dealing with anxiety, trauma, relationship troubles, or overwhelming emotions, play therapy provides a safe space to process their experiences.
In this nurturing space, children find the freedom to express themselves, learn to manage their feelings, and build stronger, healthier connections.
Through the magic of play, they not only develop emotional resilience
but also feel truly seen and understood.
Play therapy stands out as a highly effective approach for addressing a diverse range of needs in children ages 10 and under.
Neurodiverse-affirming
Neurodiverse affirming means recognizing the differences in how individuals' brains work and honoring these differences as natural and valuable. This philosophy rejects compliance-based methods and instead leads with curiosity, support, and respect for each child’s needs.
Many challenges faced by neurodivergent children arise not from their neurodivergence itself, but from societal expectations and environments that are not designed to accommodate diverse ways of thinking and feeling.
Neurodiverse affirming therapy helps children thrive by creating an environment where they feel accepted, valued,
and empowered to be themselves.
