Feeling overwhelmed by parenting challenges? At SF Bay Play Therapy, we support families navigating big emotions (for children and grown-ups alike), behavioral struggles, and life transitions. Whether your child’s outbursts affect the whole household or no parenting book seems to help, you're not alone. We offer compassionate, expert support for parents and children alike—especially during times of stress, grief, or change. You deserve to feel supported, and your child deserves a therapist in their corner.
Through play-based tools like games, puppets, and Kimochis, your child will learn to express big feelings, build social skills, and handle challenges with more confidence. Play is their language—and it works. We help kids feel seen, understood, and better able to cope with life’s ups and downs.
Reaching out can feel hard—we get it. At SF Bay Play Therapy, we offer warm, professional care tailored to your family’s unique needs. We use child-centered play, playful CBT, and Hand in Hand Parenting, all in an inclusive, anti-oppressive space. You’re not alone. Schedule your free consult today.
