PLAY THERAPY IN MCKINNEY TX

WHAT IS PLAY THERAPY?

Play Therapists plan out short to medium term programs with the child and works systematically through structured and guided play where the therapist leads the child in how they play or often times play therapy is unstructured and the child gets to choose how they play.

A wide range of activities and creative arts techniques are incorporated into the therapy responding mostly to the child’s preferences and this is the biggest difference between other types of specialized therapies such as art, music, and drama programs.

I have a passion for helping others through the power of the therapeutic relationship. My beliefs in the counseling process are strongly rooted in the person-centered approach to build relationships with clients that encourage them to recognize ways to foster healthy relationships outside the counseling room. However, I also believe in the power of learning through different methods which leads me to bring in a variety of activities and techniques to help the growth and development process that meets each client’s needs.
