Play is the window into your child’s world.

Bryana Kappadakunnel

Play therapy is a supportive way to help those children who have a hard time trusting or connecting with others.  Often children don’t communicate their feelings and thoughts through words.  Instead, children use toys, objects, and stories to attempt to understand the world around them, as well as to communicate their needs, wants, and fears. Our therapists are trained and skilled in speaking this very special language, and are here to guide you in learning how to speak the language of your child’s soul.

In child-parent play therapy, you discover your child’s needs through play.  You gain valuable tools in listening to your child’s feelings and needs more authentically, which helps you guide your child’s behaviors in a more regulated and supportive way. This gentle approach helps your child to listen & follow your leadership more readily, because you’ve provided a consistent, nurturing, and predictable response to your child’s thoughts, feelings, and needs.  Together, children and parents feel more creative, spontaneous, and joyful together.
