"We are never more fully alive, more completely ourselves, or more deeply engrossed in anything, than when we are at play."
Play Therapy is a form of counselling or psychotherapy in which play is used as a means of helping children express, connect and communicate their feelings without intrusive conversation.
Our Winnipeg-based team of counsellors and therapists serves many children and families experiencing behaviour, routine, and social challenges surrounding everyday life. We invite you to explore our resources on our website to help identify if play therapy is right for you, and your family. When you're ready, Book your FREE 15 Minute Intake
Understanding & Managing Emotions
Through play therapy, We've seen children express their feelings in ways they couldn't before. It's a safe space where they can explore emotions and learn to regulate them.
Improving Behavior
You know those tough behaviors that can be hard to handle? Play therapy can really help. It teaches kids healthier ways to express themselves, reducing those challenging behaviors we sometimes see.
Developing Social Skills
In play therapy, children learn to play with others, share, and make friends. It's great for kids who find socializing tricky and can really boost their confidence in group settings.
Healing from Trauma
For children who've been through tough times, play therapy is a gentle way to heal. It lets them process their experiences at their own pace, in a way that feels safe and natural to them.
Building Confidence & Self-Esteem
Watching a child's self-esteem grow through play therapy is amazing. They start to see what they're capable of, and their confidence just blossoms.
Enhancing Problem-Solving Skills
Through play, kids learn to think creatively and solve problems. It's a skill they carry into their everyday lives, making them more adaptable and resourceful.
Improving Communication
Play therapy helps children get better at sharing their thoughts and feelings. This can be a game-changer for kids who struggle to express themselves.
Strengthening Family Bonds
When families get involved in play therapy, it can really strengthen the bonds between parents and children. It's a beautiful way to connect and understand each other better.
Reducing Anxiety & Stress
Play is such a natural stress-reliever. We've seen firsthand how it helps lower anxiety in children, giving them a sense of peace and relaxation.
We believe that therapy should be simple, stress-free and easily accessible.
