About Play Therapy

Why Choose Play Therapy?

To Help Your Child Achieve their Potential

Play is the child’s language and …it expands self-expression, self-knowledge, self-actualization and self-efficacy.

Play relieves feelings of stress, connects us to people in a positive way, stimulates creative thinking and exploration, regulates our emotions, and increases self-confidence.

Play Therapy is beneficial for children who have experienced difficulty in school, family, social or community settings.
