Play Therapy

At Curis, we understand that children often express what they feel through play long before they can put those feelings into words. That’s why we offer play therapy — a gentle, evidence-based approach that helps children work through emotional challenges, build confidence, and develop healthy coping skills in a way that feels natural, safe, and age-appropriate.

Play therapy is a specialized form of counseling that uses toys, games, art, storytelling, and imaginative play to help children explore their thoughts, express their emotions, and make sense of difficult experiences. In the hands of a trained therapist, play becomes a powerful tool for communication and healing.

It’s especially effective for children ages 3 to 12, but can be adapted for older children and teens as well.
