Play therapy is a therapeutic technique used for children and young teens. It involves the use of toys, art, and games to help young individuals process mental health challenges they encounter throughout their childhood like trauma, behavioral problems, divorce, or bullying.
Thriveworks play therapists in Henrico work with young individuals to help them express themselves, release stress and other emotions, learn about their emotions, and heal from difficult experiences by using toys, games, and art to work through these issues in more digestible and accessible formats.
Thriveworks therapists in Henrico conduct play therapy both in person and virtually through online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your child.
Play therapy, on average, can take around 20 sessions to effectively address a young individual’s mental health concerns. However, therapy is a very individualized process, meaning that more or fewer sessions might be required depending on the client’s condition and symptoms.
Play therapy is an effective means of connecting with a child clinically allowing the child to express his/herself through avenues that are naturally occurring to a child’s development. Play therapy utilizes a child’s curiosity and aptitude for imaginative play, drawing, reading, and even the use of therapeutic apps designed specifically for developing minds.
