Chrysalis Counseling Service

Play therapy is an approach that is often used in therapy with children. While adults use words to communicate and work through things, children naturally use play. Through play therapy children process their experiences, express thoughts and feelings and learn to cope with difficult situations.  A play therapist uses a wide variety of items including common toys, arts and crafts, board games and sand.  A play therapist is skilled in helping a child work through things in a way that is interactive and fun.  Most children enjoy play therapy, and some have recommended it to their friends!
