Play Therapy
Play therapy involves trained therapists using play to help clients work through their social and emotional challenges in daily life, in order to foster growth and development.
Play Therapy can involve toys, games, role play, puppets, sand tray, expressive arts, and other therapeutic activities and is a suitable counseling approach for clients aged 3 and up. Kids, and even adults, don’t always know how to understand and cope with big feelings, so play therapy allows a way to communicate with kids in a way that they connect to
At Sapphire Cove, we have therapists credentialed (Registered Play Therapist™) and training towards credentialing as play therapists, dedicated to providing play therapy in a safe and inclusive environment to support those we work with, whether you are looking for counseling for kids or counseling for adults.
“It is in playing, and only in playing, that the individual child or adult is able to be creative and to use the whole personality, and it is only in being creative that the individual discovers the self.”
- D.W. Winnicott
