​Children experience the world differently from adults, and they often struggle to communicate their emotions verbally. At Living Deeply Therapy, we specialize in helping children express their feelings through play, art, and creative activities. By providing a safe and supportive environment, we encourage children to explore their emotions, develop coping strategies, and build self-confidence. Our goal is to help your child navigate their emotions in a healthy and productive way.

Play Therapy

In play therapy, we use various games and activities to help children express their emotions and learn coping skills. Our sessions are designed to be engaging and enjoyable, helping children feel safe and understood.

​Play Therapy Techniques:

• Play Therapy: Children naturally communicate through play. In play therapy, we use toys, games, and creative activities to help children express their inner thoughts and feelings, allowing them to work through challenges in a way that feels safe and familiar
• Art  Therapy: Art therapy provides children with a creative outlet to express difficult emotions that they may not have the words for. Through drawing, painting, and other forms of art, children can process their feelings in a constructive way.
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Children: CBT helps children recognize negative thoughts or behaviors and replace them with healthier patterns. This approach is especially effective for children dealing with anxiety, depression, or behavioral issues.
• Emotional Coaching: We teach children how to identify and manage their emotions, giving them the tools to handle feelings like anger, sadness, and frustration in healthier ways​.
