Play Therapy

Play therapy is a well-established therapeutic modality that facilitates children's expression of emotions, thoughts, and experiences through play. It acknowledges that children often find it easier to communicate and process their feelings in a play context rather than through direct verbal communication. By providing a secure and nurturing environment, play therapy enables children to explore their internal experiences, address challenges, and cultivate coping mechanisms, thereby fostering emotional development and healing. This approach is supported by empirical research and is widely recognized in the field of child psychology. The Little Village, Inc. provides different types of play experiences, which include: imaginative play, exploration through art, musical instruments, and games.
