Specific toys are used to assist children with expressing how they feel through play. Therapeutic play encourages free expression for a child.

Play Therapy helps children learn how to express themselves in a healthy manner, develop self-esteem, problem-solving and coping skills.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

Uses techniques such as drumming, tapping, drawing, sand, and the child’s imagination to assist the child with sorting through thoughts that cause anxious feelings, trouble concentrating or sleeping, or nightmares. These techniques help children develop positive feelings about themselves, increasing self-confidence and ability.
