The Power of Play Therapy

Play is the natural language of children, making it the perfect medium for therapy. Through play therapy, children can communicate their thoughts and feelings, even when they don’t have the words to express them. Shelby utilizes play therapy to help children:

  • Process and heal from trauma or challenging experiences

  • Develop emotional regulation and coping skills

  • Improve communication and social skills

  • Boost self-esteem and confidence

  • Strengthen the parent-child bond

Creative Expression through Art Therapy

Shelby believes in the power of art as a therapeutic tool for children. Art therapy allows young clients to express themselves in a non-verbal yet meaningful way. Children can explore their emotions, develop self-awareness, and build resilience through various art forms. Shelby guides children through art therapy activities that:

  • Encourage emotional expression and self-discovery

  • Enhance problem-solving and decision-making skills

  • Promote relaxation and stress reduction

  • Foster a sense of accomplishment and personal growth
