Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, ACS
Play Therapy is a researched-informed model of therapy that provides a developmental approach for the child to express what might be troubling them.
As adults, we express our troubles and issues in life by talking and in return, we can find support, understanding or a new perspective, however, for a child they may lack the ability or words to articulate what they feel or what is bothering them. Instead, the child acts out what is bothering them or behaves in such a way that reflects their surroundings and circumstances.
Play therapy is used as a means of communication so that children can more naturally express what is troubling them and we can more naturally support them as they sort through those difficulties and imitate appropriate ways of coping through the issues the child is dealing with.
Play therapy can help children work through and cope with anxiety, separation anxiety, depression, abandonment, divorce, grief, and behavioral issues.
