What is Theraplay®?

​

Theraplay is a therapist-led play therapy that uses interactive activities to improve the connection between children and their parents. The goal of Theraplay is to increase trust, self-esteem, and attachment, and to create a joyful experience. Theraplay sessions are based on the natural interactions that occur between parents and children, and they often involve physical activities that stimulate the senses.

Typically, this approach is used in treatment with children up to age 12. However, Theraplay techniques may be combined with other modalities and can be adapted for use with teenagers and adults seeking therapy for these same concerns.
