Experiential Play Therapy is a model of play therapy with a strong belief in the child’s quest for health. Only the child knows their particular perceptions of their life’s dilemmas. Therefore, in Experiential Play Therapy, the child is allowed to be the director of the play. In that process, they will utilize toys and their own creativity to recreate their experience in an environment that enables them to approach their struggles so that they are able to regain the power that has been lost in the actual event or environment. The therapist becomes a partner in the child’s quest, assuming whatever role the child requests.

Are you depressed, anxious, or overwhelmed by your feelings? Do you have "stuff" you need to deal with so you can find meaning and purpose in life again? Do your experiences as a child tend to leak into the present day? Have you experienced something traumatic or life-altering, or the death of someone you love dearly? Your childhood is the foundation of your life - sometimes we learn things as a kid about ourselves and the world that keeps us anxious, distant, or overwhelmed as adults. Together, we can learn a new way to fit into the world. We'll help your mind and body be calm so you can focus on what truly matters.
