My experience working with children has highlighted the critical role of play in their development. Play serves as a primary mode of communication for children, and play therapy harnesses this natural inclination to help them address challenges and develop new skills in a creative and developmentally appropriate way. Additionally, play therapy offers valuable insight into children's experiences and emotions.

Research supports the effectiveness of play therapy for a wide range of social, emotional, behavioral, and learning difficulties, including but not limited to:

• Abuse (physical, emotional, sexual, psychological)

• Adjustment Disorder

• Attachment Issues

• Behavioral Problems

• Depression

• Neglect

• Parental Divorce

• Social Anxiety

• Traumatic Experience
