Play Therapy is a therapeutic approach that uses play as a way for children to express thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Since children often struggle to communicate complex emotions verbally, play provides a natural, comfortable outlet. Through toys, games, art, and storytelling, therapists observe and guide children to process emotions, resolve conflicts, and develop coping skills. Play therapy is effective for addressing trauma, anxiety, behavioral issues, and family changes like divorce or loss. It fosters emotional growth, self-esteem, and problem-solving abilities. By entering the child’s world through play, therapists help children feel understood, safe, and empowered to navigate life’s challenges.
