Childhood is a precious time in a person’s life that deserves to be protected and respected. At Connections Wellness Group, we recognize the unique needs of our youngest clients and meet them where they are by employing innovative therapeutic approaches, like play therapy, in order to address mental illness at every stage of life.
What is play therapy? As the name suggests, play therapy provides children with a method of communicating their feelings and experiences directly through action. As opposed to talk therapy – which may not be as well-suited for young children due to their stage of verbal and emotional development – play therapy provides a natural outlet for children to express themselves in a way that our trained therapists are able to understand. Within the safety of our high quality, state-of-the-art playroom, our highly-skilled staff can observe a child’s natural play patterns and subsequently provide a tailored approach to addressing behaviors and assisting the child in developing the skills needed to appropriately cope with mental illness. By employing this approach, children may be able to explore unresolved emotions, thus carving out an age-appropriate pathway towards healing. Research has shown that this form of therapy is extremely beneficial for children experiencing a wide range of mental illnesses, including ADHD, depression, anxiety, trauma, and difficulty dealing with stress or coping with loss.
