Play therapy is a therapeutic technique used for children and young teens. It involves the use of toys, art, and games to help young individuals process mental health challenges they encounter throughout their childhood like trauma, behavioral problems, divorce, or bullying.
Thriveworks play therapists in Chesterfield work with young individuals to help them express themselves, release stress and other emotions, learn about their emotions, and heal from difficult experiences by using toys, games, and art to work through these issues in more digestible and accessible formats.
Thriveworks therapists in Chesterfield conduct play therapy both in person and virtually through online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your child.
Play therapy, on average, can take around 20 sessions to effectively address a young individual’s mental health concerns. However, therapy is a very individualized process, meaning that more or fewer sessions might be required depending on the client’s condition and symptoms.
What exactly is play therapy? According to the Association for Play Therapy (APT), it’s a methodical approach where trained play therapists utilize the inherent therapeutic properties of play to aid clients in managing or resolving psycho-social challenges while fostering optimal growth and development.
In simpler terms, play therapy provides children with a safe and structured environment to express themselves naturally through play. Whether it’s engaging with toys, engaging in drama, or expressing through art, if a child can play with it, it can likely be utilized for play therapy. As the University of North Texas aptly puts it, “play therapy is to children what counseling is to adults.”
At Thriveworks Chesterfield, we understand that each child is unique, and deserving of personalized care tailored to their individual needs. That’s why we’re proud to offer a team of dedicated counselors who are certified in play therapy and ready to guide your child toward healing.
