People come to therapy for all kinds of reasons - to learn more about themselves, to have someone sit with them during difficult times, to process life events, to share without feeling judged. With all the crises, conflicts, disasters, and devastation happening in the world it’s hard not to feel broken. And that's without the personal dramas that
play
out in our lives. How do we learn to accept what is? How do we learn to change?

Wellplay-Play Therapy, Child and Adult Therapy
Counselor, MA, LPCC
Verified
Children haven't yet developed the same ability or skill level that adults have for abstraction, reasoning, or vocabulary, which makes
play therapy
a "natural fit" for children.
Children experiencing ongoing stress, internal conflicts and or trauma, often, more than other's their own age, resort to acting-out at home, at school, and in the community, and will do things such as; not following or ignoring directions, yelling, crying, screaming, hitting, throwing things, as well as fighting with sibling, peers, and adults. Parents do their best, but sometimes feel overwhelmed or even guilty, where despite all of their efforts, the child continues to misbehave. The hardest part, is that parents and kids want resolution, a return to a better relationship, but sometimes it's hard to know where to start.

Play Therapy
Generally for children ages 3 to 11, play therapy is a form of counseling that relies on play to help therapists communicate with children and understand their mental health. Because children develop cognitive skills before language skills, play is an effective way to understand a child. The therapist may observe a child playing with toys--such as playhouses and dolls--to understand the child's behavior and identify issues.
