Play Therapy

St. Cloud Play Therapy

Play Therapy is a psychotherapeutic approach primarily used to help children ages 5 to 12 explore their lives and freely express repressed thoughts and emotions through play. Therapeutic play normally takes place in our safe, comfortable playroom, where very few rules or limits are imposed on the child, encouraging free expression and allowing the therapist to observe the child’s choices, decisions, and play style. The goal is to help children learn to express themselves in healthier ways, become more respectful and empathetic, and discover new and more positive ways to solve problems.

If you're looking for a creative and effective way to manage some of your child's behavior or learn about how your child expresses themselves, our St. Cloud play therapy may be for you. Our trained therapists will monitor your child's play and examine how they interact during the session providing valuable information to you as a parent.
