Play Therapy is a treatment approach for children where a qualified mental health therapist engages in interventions that allow the child to express themselves through play activities. Children engage in play as their primary activity on a daily basis; therefore, using play in treatment for childhood mental health disorders is often an effective method since children can lack the verbal and processing abilities to be able to express their feelings in words. Through various play activities, the child can learn to understand and accept their own feelings and the actions and feelings of others. Play therapy can also allow the child to express feelings and emotions that they avoid or do not wish to openly talk about. Through play activities, such as using a sand tray, miniature human figures/dolls, or other toys, the child and therapist can interact, allowing the child to experience life events or emotions through the play activity and within the safety and support of the therapeutic setting. Play therapy can help children with a variety of emotional concerns from behavioral problems, depression, anxiety, or trauma.
