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
Play therapy aims to help a child’s growth and development. The practice of play therapy requires extensive, specialized education, training and experience. With our knowledge and background in play therapy, we are confident that we can set your child up for success.
If you’re interested in learning more about play therapy and how it can help your child grow, contact us today.
*Please note we are not trained in the following: educational testing and modification, reunification, child custody evaluations, or low functioning neurodevelopment disorders requiring Applied Behavioral Analysis. Please visit our resource page for referral sources.

Growing up isn’t always easy, and sometimes kids and teens need extra support to navigate big feelings, changes, or challenges. In therapy, I create a welcoming space where young people can express themselves, build coping skills, and feel truly understood. Whether it’s anxiety, behavior struggles, school stress, or just needing someone to talk to, I’m here to help them thrive.
