Play Space Child Counseling, LLC

At Play Space Child Counseling, I specialize in Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) for children ages 3–12. CCPT is the most universally effective, evidence-based therapeutic approach for almost all childhood emotional and behavioral concerns because it works with how children naturally communicate, process, and heal.

Behavioral therapy focuses on changing behavior without addressing the emotional needs driving it. The result can be, at best, short-term behavior changes without lasting growth, and at worst, emotionally damaging to your child.

Play therapy goes deeper. When a child’s emotional needs are met, behavior improves naturally. Children build emotional regulation, confidence, self-control, and resilience—gains that serve them for a lifetime.

CCPT effectively addresses:

Anxiety, fears & separation anxiety
Big emotions, tantrums & meltdowns
Anger, aggression & defiance
Low self-esteem & lack of confidence
Perfectionism & people-pleasing
Grief, loss, divorce & family changes
Trauma & stressful life experiences
School, social & friendship difficulties
ADHD & autism-related challenges
Toileting concerns & regressions
Impulsivity & difficulty with self-control
Difficulty expressing feelings
And more

At Play Space Child Counseling, I meet not only with your child for weekly therapy sessions but also have ongoing meetings with parents to provide insight, understanding, support, and coaching throughout your child’s treatment.

Start with a FREE one-hour parent consultation to discuss your concerns and determine whether play therapy is right for your child.
