⚾️ Don't let life throw you a curve ball--we've got you

What an honor to be recognized by the Rocket City Trash Pandas for their Autism Acceptance Ball Game Yesterday! We had such a great time getting to celebrate the families and community that helps support each other.

April is Child Abuse Prevention and Awareness month. It is estimated that 1 in 7 children experience abuse in the past year. Children deserve to feel safe and loved.

If we bring awareness to the needs and support each other we can help prevent abuse.

To say that these past few months have been an emotional roller-coaster is an understatement. I'm sad to have had to leave the place that we carefully designed and built. I'm grieving the space that brought so much joy to our families. But I'm delighted to be in a place that has always felt like home. A space that brings new dreams and hopes to support the families we serve.

I can't go through an entire week of celebrating play therapy without celebrating this amazing team. Each and everyone of them has put in countless hours of research, learning, and education to be the best that they can be for the families in our community. When it comes to play therapy, they are the bees knees. I am eternally grateful to have them on my side.

Play therapy isn’t just for kids 🌱

For teens and adults, it uses creativity, movement, and symbolic play to explore emotions, reduce stress, and heal—especially when words aren’t enough. Through play, adults can reconnect with themselves, process experiences, and build healthier ways of coping and relating.

The brain is one of my most favorite things to understand! And when we make sense of the brain, play therapy makes PERFECT sense!

Neuroscience confirms that play therapy is a powerful tool that shapes the brain, builds emotional regulation, and fosters recovery from stress and trauma. This is because play helps to establish and reinforce synaptic connections and promote integration between different regions.

In play therapy, children are building new brain pathways, developing emotional awareness, and creating a healthier narrative about who they are.

In the playroom children often process through similar things that we would also address in talk therapy. Where an adult might say "I'm overwhelmed," the child might throw all the toys on the floor and make loud noises.

Because the emotional centers of the brain develop before the speaking/thinking centers, kids process through their internal experiences through action and play.

Play therapists are trained to interpret the play. Through this interpretation, children can feel heard and seen by the adults in their lives.

We always talk about how play is communication and toys are the language. In the playroom, every toy has meaning. We select toys that help facilitate this communication.

It's the start of Play Therapy Week!

Because we believe that every child deserves to use their voice and that there is power in play, we choose play therapy.

We can't wait to share with you the love of our work this week ❤️
