Children are often more comfortable dealing with problems while they’re playing. They naturally express themselves in play, which can help them understand their feelings, deal with difficult emotions, develop problem-solving skills, and heal from challenging situations. Therefore, my office is filled with games, dolls, action figures, and art supplies, as well as lentils and sand for sensory play, a calm and relaxing activity for children of all ages. I work closely with parents to help them understand and address their child’s feelings and behaviors, including meeting with them alone as well as together with their child.
