The language of children is play and toys are their words. Children simply do not communicate like adults, instead they express emotions and feelings through play, behavior, and interactions. When children are confronted with problems or challenging situations, they often do not have words to express themselves.  Play therapy allows children to express themselves and work out situations using the tools (toys, games, music, art, etc.) that makes sense to them.

At Sunrise Counseling, we believe that effective therapy for children requires strong collaboration between the therapist and parent/caregiver. Parents play a vital role in reinforcing therapeutic progress at home, making them the best co-therapists for their child. Our approach equips parents with the skills and strategies needed to support their child’s emotional and behavioral growth. We provide therapy for children as young as 3, with the understanding that parental involvement is essential for success. Together, we can help your child thrive.
