Kids & Play Therapy

At Blue Spruce Therapy we work with children ages 4 and up. Therapy with children may look a lot different from therapy with teens or adults. Play Therapy is primarily used with children because it may be difficult for children to articulate their emotions and problems. Play Therapy may look like the therapist is simply playing with the child but further observations and assessments are taking place. Play is a major way children communicate with others.

By using play, therapists can help children to learn to identify their emotions and learn coping skills to manage their emotions in a safe and interactive way.
