Play-Based Therapy

Our providers can incorporate play-based techniques into their therapeutic approach!

Play is a particularly wonderful way to connect with children. Playing together helps build trust between the child and therapist, and opens the door to communication and emotional processing. It also helps keep children engaged and interested- making therapy fun!

A play-based therapeutic approach is effective for children who may have difficulty discussing their experiences or feelings. Board games, pretend play and drawing are a few examples of tools that are incorporated to access insights into your child.
