Play Therapy
Lynn uses play therapy because it is a child-centered and strengths-based practice. It is a developmentally based and trauma informed. Children use play and toys in therapy to communicate, problem solve, improve relationship skills and build confidence in their own abilities.
Play Therapy is used as a primary intervention or as supportive therapy for:
- Behavioral problems, such as anger management, grief and loss, divorce and abandonment, and crisis and trauma.
- Behavioral disorders, such as anxiety, depression, attention deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), autism or pervasive developmental, academic and social developmental, physical and learning disabilities, and conduct disorders.
Research suggests Play Therapy is an effective mental health approach, regardless of age, gender, or the nature of the problem, and works best when a parent, family member, or caretaker is actively involved in the treatment process. (a4pt.org)
