Counselling for Children and Adolescents
"Play is the child's art form, the vehicle for creative expression, the primary avenue to learning and development"
- J.L. Frost
Healing Through Play offers Play Therapy and Expressive Arts Therapy for children ages 4-18. Play therapy is a therapeutic approach which uses the child's natural creativity and imagination as a vehicle through which they can freely explore their feelings in a safe, non-threatening environment. Play Therapy allows children to express themselves and their overwhelming feelings while also internalizing messages of empowerment and nurturing support from the therapist. As a result, the child can work through their trauma and develop healthy coping strategies and boundary skills that can continue into their adulthood.
"Move towards greater balance in life and meet everyday challenges with awareness, energy, and life-affirming possibility" - Erin Tanner Jospe
