In the simplest form, expressive therapies such as art and play is a form of sensory non-verbal communication. For children and teens who may not be able to articulate their thoughts and emotions openly, the sensory based approach allows for them to experience themselves make-meaning and communicate valuable information, as the medium encourages story telling.
Nestled in our comfortable and customized play and expressive therapies solarium studio, we are surrounded by the serenity of the forest and sounds of the running stream.

Art and Play therapists focus on child-therapist connection, as entering therapy is a relational processes. We establish attunement and engage in reshaping and repairing attachment.
