Children through age 11 · In person in Katy
Play therapy for children in Katy, TX.
Children don’t always have words for what they feel. Play gives them another way to express themselves and connect.

What brings you here
Big feelings can show up in different ways.
You may notice worry, behavior changes, difficulty at school, or a harder time with everyday transitions. Our therapists use play and creative activities to explore what your child is experiencing.
Worry & fear
Anxiety, uncertainty, and feelings that can be difficult for a child to explain.
Emotions & behavior
Big reactions, frustration, and learning ways to express and manage feelings.
School & friendships
Social stress, changes at school, and challenges connecting with others.
Changes in the family
Moves, divorce, new siblings, and adjusting to different routines.
Grief & stressful experiences
Loss, difficult events, and the feelings that can follow.
Confidence & connection
Self-esteem, communication, and building trust in relationships.
What to expect
Play, connection, and room to grow.
Sessions are shaped around your child’s developmental needs. Toys, art, sensory materials, and imaginative play give your therapist different ways to connect with your child.
