Play Therapy
We offer Play Therapy services for children from ages 4 through adulthood. Family Play Therapy sessions are also available to assist with improving the family dynamic. Play is the natural language of children and it's a metaphor or symbolic expression of what is going on in their lives.
Naturally, toys and other materials such as arts and puppets, play a role in the therapeutic process. If play is considered the language of children, toys are their words.
Children in play therapy are able to choose from an array of toys. They are given the power to determine what toys to use and how to use the toys to express their feelings.
Sandtray Therapy
Our clinic offers Sandtray Therapy for individuals from ages 2 through adulthood. Sandtray Therapy involves the creation of scenes in a sandtray the size of one's visualization field utilizing figurines, animals, trees, houses, superheroes, etc, readily avaliable on the shelves. It allows a person to act out their inner drama in three dimensional vision without concerns for artisticskills.
