Child-Centered Play Therapy based in St. Charles, IL

Child-Centered Play Therapy is an evidence-based approach that helps children experiencing social, emotional, or behavioral challenges express and heal through play.

By meeting children in their language of play, we create a safe, developmentally appropriate space for them to express and process their experiences.

Our child-centered play therapists in St. Charles help children learn to express emotions, process trauma, and develop social and emotional skills in a safe, nurturing environment ideal for early emotional or behavioral challenges.

Carefully selected toys and materials are utilized to encourage the expression of feelings, promote relationship building and trust, and develop social skills and coping skills. We help facilitate the child’s exploration of their emotions and experiences, and empathically respond to their worldview through reflection of feelings, reflection of behaviors, facilitating decision making, facilitating creativity and problem solving, providing encouragement, limit-setting, and emotion regulation (coping skills).

“Play is the highest form of research.”

Albert Einstein

  • We have found that most people benefit from starting with weekly appointments. You and your therapist can decide to meet less frequently as you progress toward reaching your goals. Even after goals have been reached, many clients decide to continue coming for occasional appointments to maintain their process, such as once per month.
