PLAY THERAPY & PARENTING SUPPORT
Play Therapy: Empowering Children
As a parent, you want what’s best for your child, but navigating their challenges bring up guilt, frustration, anger and worry. Child-centered play therapy is a powerful solution that taps into your child’s natural interests and abilities, allowing them to work through difficulties at their own pace and developmental level.
With therapeutic support, children learn to manage strong emotions, boost self-esteem and establish a solid foundation for future growth and well-being.
Your child may benefit from play therapy if:
You have concerns about behaviors at home or school
Your child frequently experiences tantrums and/or high emotional reactivity
A teacher, pediatrician, or other professional has recommended therapy
Your child has expressed a desire for a therapist or “someone to talk to”
Let’s work together to help your child thrive!
Empowering You on Your Parenting Journey
As the expert on your child, you play the most important role in their growth, development and well-being. Parent involvement in therapy helps you reach your goals faster and feel confident and sturdy in your parenting.
These sessions run concurrently with your child’s therapy. Parent-only sessions are also available as a stand-alone treatment.
Parent Guidance Therapy may be the solution you’re looking for if:
Your child is struggling, and you’re unsure how to help
You want or need additional support understanding and responding to your child’s emotional communications
You are experiencing difficult emotions related to your child’s struggles, such as sadness, anger, guilt or shame
You want to reduce power struggles, fights and other difficult interactions
You want a deeper relationship with your child
Navigate your parenting journey with confidence and clarity!
