Individualized, creative interventions

Welcome and Thanks for visiting!

Not Just Play? What does that mean? Play is the language of children. In a healing environment when kids play in session, it is "not just play" but therapy. Play relieves feelings of stress and boredom, connects us to people in a positive way, stimulates creative thinking and exploration, regulates our emotions, and boosts our ego. (Landreth 2002).
