Play Therapy Services at Aspire Counseling
Play Therapy is a specialized form of psychotherapy that allows children to process their feelings and resolve conflicts through play. It is a form of treatment that can help with exploring and expressing difficult emotions, improving communication, and developing problem-solving and coping skills. Facilitated by our skilled and compassionate therapists who specialize in working with children, play therapy provides a safe and supportive environment where children can navigate their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a developmentally appropriate way.
​
During play therapy sessions, children may be encouraged to engage in various forms of play, such as drawing, storytelling, and/or role playing, which may involve the use of toys, sand tray, or other objects. Through these activities, children can communicate and work through their struggles in a non-threatening and enjoyable manner.
​
Our play therapists are highly trained, licensed mental health professionals with expertise in child development and techniques specific to working with children/adolescents. They create a warm, nurturing environment where your child can feel comfortable expressing themselves and building trusting a trusting relationship.
