At Great Oak Counseling, our dedicated space is specially designed to make children feel safe and comfortable. Our registered Play Therapists and Play Therapists in training offer a dynamic approach to counseling that uses play as a medium for children to express themselves and confront their challenges.
Why Play Therapy?
Play therapy is particularly effective for children experiencing:
- Behavioral Problems: Helping children develop appropriate behaviors and coping strategies.
- Emotional Distress: Assisting children in managing feelings of depression and anxiety.
- Trauma and Abuse: Providing a safe space for children to process and recover from traumatic experiences.
Our Specialized Environment
Great Oak Counseling is equipped with a variety of play therapy tools and toys that encourage children to engage in their therapeutic process. This environment is tailored to help children use creative means to express and understand their emotions and behaviors.
Our Approach
Our certified play therapists use play therapy not just to treat the child but to engage the entire family. This approach helps:
- Empower children to express their feelings and problems through the universal language of play.
- Involve parents and family members in the therapeutic process, enhancing the support system for the child.
- Facilitate healing and emotional growth in a manner that is respectful, empathetic, and attuned to the child’s developmental needs.
