Child-Centered
Play Therapy for Children
“Play is the child's language and the toys are their words.”
- Garry Landreth
Why Play Therapy?
Play is a child’s natural language. Through play therapy, children process experiences, build coping skills, and strengthen emotional regulation.
Attachment-focused play therapy helps children:
Develop trust and safety in relationships
Practice healthy boundaries
Improve emotional expression
Build problem-solving skills
Repair relational ruptures
What is Play Therapy?
Play therapy provides children with a natural way to express themselves and process their thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT), is an unstructured form of play therapy rooted in the belief that children have an inherent ability to heal when provided with a safe space to freely express themselves. The role of the therapist is to offer a safe, accepting, and understanding environment while providing developmentally appropriate insights and observations, allowing the child to lead the session based on their own interests and needs.
