Have you ever asked yourself this question? “What is going on with my child? When I was their age I never acted this way!" You are not alone! There is nothing scarier for a parent when they don’t know how to help their child. It can feel like walking down a dark hallway, looking for the right door that will lead your family to peace but never finding it. Let us shed some light on your journey. The door you are looking for is Play Therapy.
We specialize exclusively in children ages 4 to 12. We know that children are unable to communicate in the same way as adults. As child therapists, we are trained to help children process their emotions in a way that makes sense to them and leads to lasting change.
Navigating parenting challenges and knowing what to do is not for the faint of heart. It is OK if you find yourself at a loss of what to do. That is simply a clue that "Now Is a Good Time" to get some help. I invite you to call or email me to see if our services would be a good fit for your child. We can overcome together!
Take the first step to help. Call or Stephanie Manning now - (317) 768-0802

Play Therapy is based upon the fact that play is the child's natural medium of self-expression. It is an opportunity which is given to the child to 'play out' his feelings and problems just as, in certain types of adult therapy, an individual 'talks out' his difficulties. Virginia Axline

Child-centered, non-directive Play Therapy can be thought of as a "long-game" strategy for the mental health well-being of children. There is no"quick fix." We will work together towards long-term change that carries itself far into adulthood.
