Evidence-Based Practice Made Fun
Our play therapy interventions are formed in evidence based practices. It's effective therapy, made fun!
The therapy techniques we use include TF-CBT, Narrative Therapy, Child-Centered Therapy, and DBT, which are the most well-researched techniques for both children and adults in the field of clinical mental health
Play-based therapy involves applying these approaches through games, art & toys
Please note that the level of interaction for play-based therapy requires in-person attendance and is not available through telehealth

Safe, Accessible, and Catered to You
We know that every child is different, which is why we don't have an all-size-fits-one approach to play therapy.
All children, individuals, and families are respected in our office, and we strive to be as mindful as possible when working with foster parents, adoptive parents, or other kinds of guardians
Our office also has accommodations for play-based therapy intended for children with disabilities and limited physical capacities (such as options for tabletop alternatives for floor-based activities and photo-based options for those who speak multiple languages or struggle with reading).
Additionally, we can cater play-based therapy to older individuals who would rather participate in play therapy than talk therapy, as play can be healing for all ages.
Please note that a parent, guardian, or approved adult must be in the office at all times during children's therapy sessions, drop-off appointments are not allowed for children under 14
We also have an open door policy for clients under the age of 14, which allows parents/guardians to be in the room during services and/or enter the therapy room at any time while their child is receiving services
