Play is purposeful and vital in a child’s development- not just entertainment. Play is not a break from learning, it is learning! It is purposeful, healing, and deeply rooted in how children grow, adapt, and thrive.

"In play, a child is always above their average age, above their daily behavior. In play, it is as though they were a head taller than themselves." Lev Vygotsky

For children, play is their language and toys are their words. When life feels overwhelming, confusing, or scary, play therapy gives kids a safe, supportive way to express emotions they can't yet put into words, develop problem-solving and coping skills, build confidence and resilience, improve relationships and social skills, heal from trauma, anxiety, grief, or major life changes, and so much more!

At Common Spring, we create a nurturing environment where children feel seen, heard, and empowered through play because every child deserves the tools to thrive. 🤍

"When worries are too big for words, play becomes their voice."

Anxiety in children can look different than in adults. You might see irritability or meltdowns, trouble sleeping or nightmares, avoiding school, friends, or activities, or stomachaches or not feeling well. Children don’t always say they’re anxious, but they show it.

This is where play therapy helps! Play gives kids a natural way to express, process, and make sense of their big feelings in a safe, supportive space. At Common Spring, we use play therapy to help children feel understood, learn healthy coping skills, build confidence, and heal through creativity and connection. Every child deserves the tools to grow through their struggles.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month!

At Common Spring Therapy Group, we believe healing is possible at every age, and it starts with understanding that mental health is health. Whether it's through play therapy with a child, EMDR or TF-CBT for trauma, or supporting parents with FECT, we’re here to help our community grow, heal, and thrive.

You are not alone. You are worthy of support.

“Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.” - Mr. Rogers

At Common Spring, we believe in the healing power of play! It's how children process the world around them.
