Play Therapy

Play therapy offers children a safe and creative
space to express their thoughts and emotions through play—the language they
know best. Through games, storytelling, and imagination, children learn to
process big feelings, build confidence, and develop healthy coping skills.
It’s a gentle, engaging approach that helps kids grow emotionally while
having fun.
