PLAY THERAPY is a powerful tool for addressing cognitive, behavioral, and emotional challenges. Licensed professionals that use play therapeutically can help clients better process their experiences and develop more effective strategies for managing their worlds.
“Play Therapy is based upon the fact that play is the child’s natural medium of self expression…It is an opportunity which is given to the child to ‘play out’ his feelings and problems just as in certain types of adult therapy an individual ‘talks out’ his difficulties.” -Virginia Axline
