Bethesda MD Family Counseling:

Play Therapy for Younger Children

Therapy for young children may seem complicated because they cannot always easily talk about or understand their feelings. Just as adults have different avenues to express themselves in therapy, children also have the benefit of play therapy. With children between the ages of six to twelve, our counselors may utilize therapeutic games, art materials, sand play, and storytelling. For children under the age of five, our counselors rely on play techniques. Before beginning these methods, our counselors will determine a course of therapy and discuss them with you.
