MY SPECIALTIES
PLAY THERAPY
Play therapy techniques are used primarily with children; a therapist incorporates puppets, sand, small figurines, etc, as communication mediums to assist children in resolving their psychological and emotional difficulties. The objects and patterns of play, as well as the willingness to interact with the child therapist, can be used to understand the underlying rationale for behavior both inside and outside the therapy session.
