Therapy for Children: Play & Healing
Play: the Language of Children
Families with children seek therapy for various reasons. Some families may be adjusting to new members through birth or adoption. Other families have children who have difficulty regulating their energy or managing emotions.There may be illness, divorce or separation due to military deployment. Some families may experience violence, sexual abuse, mental illness or substance abuse.
Effective therapy for children is both playful & engaging. Since play is a child's primary language, it is through play that children work, learn, grow & express themselves. The type of therapy utilized depends on the treatment goals.
