How does Play Therapy work?

In Play Therapy, a trained therapist creates a safe and supportive environment where children can interact with various play materials. The therapist observes and engages with the child during play, using the activities to understand and address the child’s emotional and behavioral issues. The goal is to help the child process their experiences and develop coping skills.

Who can benefit from Play Therapy?

Play Therapy is primarily used with children, but it can also benefit adolescents and, in some cases, adults. It’s especially useful for children dealing with anxiety, trauma, behavioral issues, or difficulties with emotional regulation.

What should I expect during a Play Therapy session?

During a Play Therapy session, your child will have access to various toys, art materials, and games. The therapist will observe how your child interacts with these materials and may participate in the play. The therapist will also discuss the progress and any concerns with you as needed, while maintaining confidentiality.

How long does Play Therapy take to see results?

The duration of Play Therapy varies depending on the child’s needs and the specific issues being addressed. Some children may benefit from just a few sessions, while others may need longer-term therapy. The therapist will work with you to set goals and determine the appropriate length of treatment.

How do I know if Play Therapy is right for my child?

Play Therapy can be a great fit if your child is struggling with emotional or behavioral issues and prefers to communicate through play rather than verbal conversation. Consult with a qualified Play Therapist, who can assess your child’s needs and recommend the most appropriate therapeutic approach.

Will my child’s progress be shared with me?

Yes, the therapist will provide updates on your child’s progress and discuss any concerns or observations. However, the specifics of what occurs during the sessions are kept confidential to create a safe space for the child.
