Play Therapy
Play therapy is a child-centered approach that uses play to help children express their emotions, thoughts, and experiences in a natural way. Building a trusting relationship with the therapist is a key first step, as it creates a safe space for the child to feel comfortable opening up.
Once this foundation is established, children engage in activities like games and role-playing to explore their feelings, while the therapist guides them in developing coping skills, emotional resilience, and problem-solving abilities.
Play therapy is effective for addressing issues like anxiety, trauma, grief, and behavioral challenges, and can help children develop self-awareness and healthier ways to cope. It can be used individually or alongside family therapy to strengthen relationships and improve overall well-being
Expressive Arts
Expressive arts therapy helps kids express themselves in fun and creative ways—like through drawing, painting or music. Sometimes it’s hard for kids to put their feelings into words, but using art lets them show what’s going on inside.
This type of therapy gives them a safe space to work through tough emotions, like sadness, anger, or fear, and helps them feel more confident in handling their feelings. It’s not about being “good” at art; it’s about giving them a chance to understand and deal with their emotions in a way that feels comfortable and natural.
Over time, this can help your child feel more at ease, more self-aware, and better able to cope with challenges.
Sand Tray Therapy
Sand Tray therapy uses a sandbox and miniature figures to help children express their feelings and experiences without needing to put them into words. Your child can choose and arrange the figures in the sand to create scenes that reflect their world, emotions, or challenges.
While the therapist provides support and guidance, the child has control over the scene they create, which can help them process emotions, understand difficulties, and find new ways to cope.
This approach is especially helpful for children dealing with anxiety, stress, or trauma, as it offers a safe, creative way to work through tough emotions and provides a powerful tool for emotional healing and personal growth.
