Bethany specializes in play therapy with children. Most children do not have the required complex language skills to fully verbalize their problems. Instead, they can express themselves through play. Reaching out to a child in a non-threatening way and on a comfortable level is essential to getting to the root of the problem. Play therapy offers an experiential and influential way for children to express their feelings, heal, and grow in a way that is most effective for them.


Play therapy can provide children with the ability to reach their fullest potential and achieve optimal growth and development. This widely accepted form of therapy allows children to cope with problematic life situations while learning to constructively express their feelings in a safe environment. Play therapy can be beneficial for treating a wide variety of problems from stressful environmental situations to disciplinary problems.
