Play Therapy
Psychotherapy has been proven effective in helping people tackle their problems ranging from general life stresses to adjustment to new medical diagnoses to symptom alleviation of particular mental disorders such as depression and anxiety.

This exploration process coupled with instruction on corrective thought and stress management techniques  are key to improved coping and adjustment.

Their unresolved stresses frequently emerge as behavioral, emotional, and academic problems. Play therapy is a natural communication medium for children and thus a very effective therapeutic approach, in which children receive emotional support and can learn to understand more about their own feelings and thoughts.
