Playful Healing Center holds the healing mission of strengthening and empowering individuals with effective therapeutic approaches. We have developed an array of high-quality mental health services for children, adolescents, adults, and families. Although we are specialized in pediatric psychotherapy in issues of attachment, trauma, behavioral and emotional issues, we also offer services to individuals and families with issues of trauma, anxiety, and mood disorders.
As treatment modalities, Playful Healing Center offers neurobiologically informed therapy services such as Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP), Gestalt play therapy, and Theraplay. In addition, we provide evidence-based models such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT).
Playful Healing Center offers a team approach to monitor the changes of client's issues by building strong collaborative relationships with client and(or) family. With thorough assessment, we often successfully identify the most suitable treatment approaches to having your needs met.
