What to Expect from Play Therapy

Sometimes parents wonder what they can expect from play therapy sessions. A child might say they had fun or they built a fort, but is that really all that’s going on? It can feel awkward for parents to not know the content of their child’s sessions, and most play therapists will want to incorporate parental input into sessions in some way, whether that be joint family sessions or parent only sessions to discuss progress and brainstorm ways to support your child together.
