Play therapy is an essential modality for children's mental health. It provides a specialized approach that enables children to express their emotions, confront their problems, and enhance their problem-solving skills. It allows therapists to reach children in the language they understand best—play. As mental health professionals continuously seek effective methods to engage, heal, and support children’s well-being, incorporating play therapy into their practice offers a powerful way to address the emotional and psychological challenges that children face.
