Modern Wellness Family Counseling, LLC
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT/S, RPT/S
Play is an enjoyable, fun activity that elevates our spirits and brightens our outlook on life. Play relieves feelings of stress and boredom and, most importantly, helps us express ourselves.
What is Play Therapy?
Play therapy refers to a large number of treatment methods, all applying the therapeutic benefits of play. Play therapy helps children to address and resolve their own problems, and builds on the natural way that children learn about themselves and their relationships in the world around them.
APT defines play therapy as the “systematic use of a theoretical model to establish an interpersonal process wherein trained play therapists use the therapeutic powers of play to help clients prevent or resolve psychosocial difficulties and achieve optimal growth and development.”
What does Play Therapy help?
Play therapy helps children:
Become more responsible for their behaviors and develop more successful strategies
Develop new and creative solutions to problems
Develop respect and acceptance of self and others
Learn to experience and express emotion
Cultivate empathy and respect for thoughts and feelings of others
Learn new social skills and relational skills with family
Develop self-efficacy and a better assuredness about their abilities

Kimberlee Zetocha Halverson
Psychologist, Ph.D, LP
I have great experience working with children and teens across many settings including inpatient, outpatient, and in home therapy sessions. I have worked exclusively with kids/teens in session, but also when appropriate and needed encourage parent involvement in some of the sessions. I have extensive experience in behavior modification which often includes the help of parents within sessions. I am known to be very relatable and comfortable to talk to when it comes to kids and teens.
