- Play Therapy
Children are usually uncomfortable talking about their thoughts, feelings, and behavior. They don’t have the cognitive ability to view themselves objectively or to understand how others view their behavior until early adolescence. Play is a child’s natural form of communication, just as talking is an adult’s natural way to communicate. - Individual Counseling
