Play Therapy
At Treehaven Counseling, we help children express their feelings in ways that feel natural and comfortable for them. Play is children's natural language and a great tool for children to share their emotions as they process their experiences. Our play therapists are dedicated to helping children feel safe and secure while developing healthy coping skills.
Play therapy can include music, art therapy, sand tray therapy, and other activities. We make it fun and inviting for children to explore their emotions and feel better. We use play therapy to help children build better relationships, find solutions, and create a more balanced life.
If your child has gone through a traumatic experience, struggling in school, or appears to need extra support —play therapy can help them work through their difficult feelings and experiences. We understand how children think, feel, and process emotions differently than adults. Play therapy is an effective way for children to heal from trauma, build self-esteem, and develop better communication skills.
