What is play therapy?
Trained play therapists use the therapeutic powers of play to help children (usually 3 – 12 years old) to prevent or resolve psychosocial issues and behavioral disorders. Play therapy uses the natural “language” of the child – play. Licensed mental health professionals, mental health agencies, schools, hospitals, and private practitioners use play therapy.
