Play Therapy
Play therapy is evidence-based therapy that aims to help children better understand and express their emotions and make sense of their experiences in a language that the child understands best – play.
Play therapy has been proven effective in the treatment of disruptive behaviors, depression, trauma, developmental issues, self-esteem, anxiety, and attachment to name a few.
Play therapy looks different with different therapists. Here at Petrichor, our therapists use sandplay, narrative, cognitive-behavioral, art and other forms of play therapy to help children learn about themselves while learning new coping mechanisms that they can use throughout their lives.
“Enter into children’s play and you will find the place where their minds, hearts and souls meet.” – Virginia Axline
