Play Therapy - Sears Counseling provides play therapy services to children ages 3-10 years old and their families.  Older clients will be considered if they present at a younger emotional/developmental age.   A wide array of therapy modalities are used to help the client and family work through the identified treatment needs, but emphasizes the Synergetic Play Therapy approach to treatment which focuses on how the nervous system responds to distress.  The caregiver/child relationship is identified as the most important factor in healing and thus working with the caregiver is equally important in the treatment process.  We provide psycho education to caregivers in conjunction with individual client sessions and also incorporate parents/family into sessions if deemed appropriate for the child's treatment needs.  All Play Therapy is provided in-person, caregiver support can be provided online or in-person based on the caregiver's availability.
