We offer Play Therapy in several forms at Shannon Deets Counseling LLC. Play Therapy is a strengths based approach. This means by using play, the child develops the ability to use his or her own unique strengths and thereby find solutions to the problems they face. Although Play Therapy uses many toys commonly found in many children's homes it is more than just playing with the child. A trained professional carefully watches the child's play, analyzes the meaning behind it, and then assists the child in using play to problem solve.

Play Therapy uses many of the element's of children's natural play to inform the therapist of the child's inner world and thereby helps the therapist to form a working theory of the child's difficulties. The kinds of Play Therapy offered at Shannon Deets Counseling include: Non-directive Child Centered Play Therapy, Sand Play, and Artistic Expressions.
