Absolutely! While I work with children and use play-based approaches with them, many of my clients are teens and adults. Therapy for teens and adults can look and feel different but the environment remains warm, welcoming, and nonjudgmental, so whether you’re 4 or 35 , you’ll have a space that feels safe, comfortable, and tailored to you.

Yay! Play is your child’s natural way of expressing thoughts, feelings, and experiences. While it may look like fun and games, your child is actually processing emotions, building skills, and exploring solutions in a safe and supportive space. Play therapy allows children to communicate in ways words alone often can’t, so even if it seems like “just playing,” a lot of important growth is happening beneath the surface!

Children, especially younger ones, often don’t have the words or emotional awareness to fully describe what they’re feeling or struggling with. Play provides a natural, developmentally appropriate way for them to explore their behavior, understand emotions, and practice problem-solving. Rather than focusing on “what they did wrong,” play therapy focuses on helping children build insight, self-regulation, and skills so they can make healthier choices on their own.

Every child is unique, so the length of therapy can vary depending on their needs, goals, and progress. Some children show meaningful growth in just a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. Typically, children attend weekly sessions, and we regularly review progress together. The focus is on supporting your child’s growth at a pace that feels safe, effective, and natural, rather than following a strict timeline.

It’s also important to remember that therapy isn’t always about “fixing” a problem quickly, it’s about helping your child learn skills, process feelings, and build resilience that will last. Some progress happens gradually, and sometimes the changes are subtle but meaningful. Think of it as planting seeds: with consistent support, patience, and care, growth happens over time in a way that’s right for your child.

For children under 12, the first session is usually just for the parent or caregiver. This gives me a chance to gather background information, understand your child’s needs, and plan how to make therapy a safe and supportive experience, without making your child feel anxious or “on the spot.” Once we have this foundation, your child can start attending sessions feeling comfortable, confident, and ready to engage in their own way.

Your role as a parent is to support your child’s therapy by attending parent sessions, following through with agreed-upon strategies at home, and communicating openly with me about any concerns or changes you notice. Your involvement is a key part of your child’s success.

Parent sessions are opportunities for you to be involved in your child’s therapy without sitting in on every play session. In these meetings, we talk about your child’s progress, discuss strategies you can use at home, and address any questions or concerns you have. Parent sessions help you support your child’s growth, reinforce skills, and strengthen the connection between therapy and everyday life. They are also a space for you to process your own feelings and challenges as a parent, because supporting a child can be hard work, and you deserve support too.
