Play Therapy
Play therapy is a type of therapeutic technique used with children that helps them express their feelings and thoughts in a way that is natural for children and best-suited for their developmental level. Throughout the course of play therapy, children learn coping skills to deal with emotional or behavioral stress and/or trauma. By allowing children to play in a safe environment children and work through emotional and/or behavioral stress that they may be experiencing.
This type of therapy has been found useful for many different issues, including (but not limited to): family problems (e.g., parental separation or divorce, sibling problems), victims of child abuse or other types of trauma, anxiety problems, depression, children who have learning disabilities, social issues, bed wetting, and children who are struggling with a broad array of emotional or behavioral issues.
