Why Play Therapy?


The principles and practices of play therapy enable practitioners to engage and motivate child clients in the therapeutic process by harnessing the healing power of play and enabling the therapist to become a trusted part of the child's world. Play therapy training can help increase the insights, creativity and innovation of the therapist and make psychotherapy more developmentally appropriate for children.
