Many people find traditional verbal counseling intimidating. However, play therapy and art therapy are non-threatening treatment options that bypass defenses and create a positive experience for the participant. Play therapy and art therapy are fun, innovative, and progressive approaches to treatment. Play therapy is a counseling modality that requires specialized training, experience and supervision. Play therapy is appropriate for children of all ages with a wide variety of clinical concerns.

Play therapy utilizes art making, games, and dramatic play to help children process challenges and solve problems. Art therapy is a specialty within the counseling field requiring specialized education and post-graduate experience and supervision. Participants engage in self-exploration and therapy through creative activities such as painting, drawing, mask making, doll making, and collage. Both play therapy and art therapy help keep the therapeutic process fun and engaging.
