Strides in Psychotherapy
Psychologist, PSY.D.
Usually, when people think about psychotherapy, they imagine sitting on a couch in an office talking to a therapist about their problems. This style of therapy works just fine for many adults and adolescents. However, most younger children express themselves better through play than through words—for them, play is a primary method of communication. Even very bright and highly verbal children may find it difficult to talk about situations when strong feelings are involved. This is why they might shrug their shoulders, refuse to answer or say “I don’t know” when asked what is wrong. They might also “act out” or try to communicate to you through their behavior rather than through words, and sometimes these behaviors can get them into trouble at home or at school or be misunderstood by those around them. In addition, children often find it hard to sit still and talk for 45 minutes in a row, and they enjoy coming to therapy much more when play is a part of the equation.

Restoring Hope Counseling & Consulting, PLLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, RPT, NCC, CCPRT
All of our clinicians have been trained at the world renowned Center for Play Therapy. We utilize the only evidence-based form of play therapy called Child-Centered Play Therapy. The specific counseling skills we use in play therapy with children actually enhance our work with teens and adults as well, whether providing sandtray therapy, other expressive art activities, or simple talk therapy. When working with minors, we meet with their parents on a regular basis too in order to provide support to the parents and keep them involved in the therapeutic process.
