Play Therapy is an umbrella term that includes therapies which utilize play as a means for healing in children. Children are in a different place developmentally than adults; therefore, they need therapy to come in a different way. Play is a child’s main and most effective form of communication. Some play therapies that we utilize here at Spring Tree Counseling are: Child-Centered Play Therapy, Sandtray, Theraplay, Bibliotherapy, and Play-Based CBT.
