Children don't say "I had a hard day, can we talk?" They say, "Will you play with me?" -Lawrence Cohen

Healing Hearts Through Play
Orange County Children's Play Therapist

For young children, play can be a more effective means of self-expression than their words. Play therapy is one of the best treatment modalities for helping children process their emotions and find healing. Play therapy can be beneficial for every child, especially for those that are experiencing emotional and behavioral challenges such as anxiety, depression, and trauma. Play therapy can also be helpful for children whose families are experiencing divorce, family crises, illness, environmental changes, and loss.

Play therapy sessions take place both in person and virtually in a safe environment that can sometimes involve the parents or caregiver. Following the initial intake session and assessment, I will select the treatment approach that will best fit your child's needs. Play therapy techniques can include but are not limited to art, music, story-telling, sand-tray, and dolls.
