Play Based Therapy for Children
Sunny Days Therapeutics provides play-based therapies that support emotional growth and development in children. Using creative, engaging techniques, our therapists help kids express emotions, build confidence, and develop healthy coping skills in a safe, nurturing environment, fostering lasting emotional well-being.
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.
