Play Therapy is a form of counseling that uses play to communicate and help people, especially children, prevent and resolve challenges. Challenges children experience may result in difficult behaviors, aggression, withdrawl, regression, or other maladaptive coping skills. Children naturally use play to approach, explore, communicate, and learn about the events and challenges in their lives. In play therapy, through child’s interactions and relationships with a trained play therapist, the play becomes intentional and emotional healing begins.

Navigating the adolescent and teen years is challenging for most. This is a time when teens are seeking independence, discovering themselves, the adult world, and are overwhelmed with how to navigate it all. If your adolescent or teen is struggling in their relationships or showing signs of anxiety, depression, difficulty in school, suicidality, or eating disorders, we offer a variety of techniques to help teens discover healing and find their authentic self.

Several of our therapists offer parent coaching both separately or in conjunction with play therapy. These sessions can be offered over the phone, in person, or online. Contact us for more details on how to get started or click below to read more about who might be the best fit for your family.

At Play Therapy Connection, total transformation requires looking into healing other areas of life that support, foster and align with the emotional healing done through play therapy. Your therapist may encourage you to connect with one or more of these providers or perhaps you are ready to add another member of your support team to you or your child’s life but don’t know where to start.
