At Purposeful Play Therapy, our mission is to empower children and families to reach their full potential by providing high-quality, evidence-based therapy services. We strive to make a meaningful difference in the lives of the individuals we serve, working collaboratively with families to achieve positive and lasting outcomes.
Our Approach
We use different treatment theories and modalities to address a variety of developmental, emotional, and behavioral challenges in a fun and engaging play environment. We believe in the power of play as a primary means for children to explore, communicate, and learn. Through purposeful, engaging play, we empower children to overcome challenges, develop essential skills, and thrive in their daily lives.
Our approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, ensuring that every interaction and intervention is supported by the latest research and best practices in pediatric therapy.
