Red Deer Play Therapy

It's International Play Therapy Week!

First session nerves are not only incredibly common, but are incredibly welcome. We're here to help kids (and their grown ups!) feel safe enough to play. Everything else grows from there.

Play therapy is intentional and evidence-based work. To a child, play is their language. In play therapy, toys, games, music and art become tools for children to express themselves and build new skills.

Therapy works best when parents are confident, kids feel safe, and the relationship feels right. We offer a free 15-minute consultation where you can share your concerns, ask questions, and explore possibilities.

The holidays can bring joy, excitement.. and overwhelm. This may show up as big feelings (and their accompanying big behaviours). Connection through play, laughter, and presence is a meaningful gift during the holidays and year-round. What are your favourite ways to play together?

Messy play turns spills and splats into growth! It helps children (teens, and adults too!) explore their senses, regulate emotions, and builds creativity, confidence and motor skills!
