Play Therapy

Rocky Top Therapy Center provides Play Therapy for children ages 3-9.

Play therapy utilizes a child's natural form of communication, play. Together with a trained therapist, a child can process a variety of developmental, emotional and psychological concerns.

The Association for Play Therapy (APT) defines play therapy as "the systematic use of a theoretical model to establish an interpersonal process wherein trained play therapists use the therapeutic powers of play to help clients prevent or resolve psychosocial difficulties and achieve optimal growth and development."
