Children most effectively communicate through play. Child Centered Play Therapy focuses on the child’s own methods of coping, in turn strengthening their independence, flexibility and ability to problem solve. Children with an outlet for their emotions experience increased self-esteem, the ability to self-soothe, and a deeper understanding of how to communicate big feelings when they arise. If your child is between the ages of 3 and 8, play therapy could be a great option for your family!
