Play Therapy

Loveland | Fort Collins | Windsor | Johnstown | Timnath | Berthoud | Greeley

What is it like in your home these days?

Is your child irritable or angry all the time?

Do you find yourself walking on eggshells to avoid a fight?

Is your child highly emotional, cries easily, or shuts down quickly?

Does your child struggle with worry and anxiety?

Does it feel like your every request leads to an argument?

Play therapy may be the path back to peace and connection that your family has been looking for.

Play is a child’s first language. For children, knowing how to effectively communicate frustration, sadness, and worry can feel like a foreign language. When words are not enough…

Play is communication.

Behaviors are communication.

Understanding the language of play, Lindsey uses child-centered play therapy to help children better understand their emotional and relational experiences AND help parents better understand their child’s attempts at communication.

Healing when the whole family hurts

A child’s behavior can often disrupt harmony in the whole family and yet, all behavior makes sense if we consider it as your child’s attempt to communicate.

Lindsey is committed to working with parents to understand their child’s behavior and explore parenting strategies that improves connection, builds compassion, reduces emotional dysregulation, and honors your family’s values.

Lindsey uses a two-pronged approach when working with children. Play therapy is a significant part of children reconciling their emotional experiences AND a collaborative parent-therapist relationship is equally important to the process of change. Families can expect regular communication from Lindsey to compare notes on events and behaviors at home and emerging play therapy themes in session.

Lindsey is proud to offer a fully equipped playroom designed with care and featuring a diverse selection of therapeutic toys and tools that will effectively meet your child where they are at in their emotional and developmental journey.
