Because young children find it difficult to sit in a psychotherapist’s office and share his/her feelings, Play Therapy is a wonderful technique that is utilized to help children work through all kinds of issues. Play Therapy is fun for the child and can also work on many issues such as: improving self-esteem, developing appropriate social skills and empowering a child that has experienced any form of trauma. Play Therapy is also beneficial for children who are dealing with grief and loss issues. Because young children cannot express themselves in the same manner that adults do, Play Therapy magically enables the child to master and conquer fears, deal with bullying and work through family issues such as divorce and/or death. The child is able to experience success and accomplishment during the Play Therapy sessions that can be taken with them to the outside world.
