"Play is a medium for expressing feelings, exploring relationships, and self-fulfillment. "( -Gary Landreth, Ed.D., LPC, RPT-S) Play Therapy is a powerful tool that addresses cognitive, behavioral, and emotional challenges. Play offers clients a pathway to process their experiences and develop more effective strategies for managing their worlds.

Bowen family systems theory sees the family as emotional unit. In this theory "systems thinking" is used to describe the complex interplay of interactions that occur in the family unit. Through exploring these family dynamics by observing relationship patterns, emotional reactions, and responses to stress, clients through application of theory can begin to see their relationships differently, how they contribute, and learn to bring about change.

The mind is amazing and so powerful! Through the application CBT clients learn to think about their thinking and realize they are in control of their thoughts. CBT allows clients to see how their thoughts, emotions, and actions are intertwined and impact each other.
