FAQ's About Play Therapy at Luxx Therapy

What is play therapy, and how does it work?
FAQ open icon

Play therapy uses toys, games, and creative activities to help children express their emotions and work through challenges. It’s especially effective because play is the natural language of children. The goal is to create a non-judgmental safe environment for the child to freely express their feelings. How a child plays, what they play with, and how they choose to engage with the therapist provides cues into the child’s coping mechanisms, frustration tolerance, mastery, view of self, others, and the world, and overall development. Therapists utilizing play therapy are trained in setting limits, responding to emotional dysregulation, reflecting feelings and content presented, and working with caregivers to ensure continuance of care and skills outside of session. Children are accepted as they are and encouraged to increase their accountability of their feelings and actions. The therapist and child work together to address what is presented in session.
