Play Therapy
Play Therapy is the way children naturally express themselves. Symbolic and free play is a child’s language. This therapeutic method allows children to process emotions, trauma, and their inner world—things they cannot express with words—in a safe environment through play. It is a powerful method that can be applied in both individual and group formats.
