What is Play Therapy?
A child’s world consists of what he or she can see and touch. Play is a child’s language and toys can represent words. In the safety of a therapeutic playroom with a trained play therapist, a child can express and resolve many feelings in ways that are age and situation appropriate.
What is Marriage and Family Therapy?
A family's patterns of behavior influences the individual and therefore may need to be a part of the treatment plan.
