Playful Roots Counseling
An integrative approach to helping children and families heal from the inside out. By blending the therapeutic powers of play, mindfulness, attachment, and regulation, a child can begin to work through perceived challenges. This process helps to increase positive behaviors, allowing the child to reach their highest potential.
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.
