PLAY THERAPY
Dr. Buddensick believes in the power of play to help children connect with and express their inner experiences and emotions. Play is a safe space to explore and work through intense feelings, leading to a feeling of mastery and the ability to express feelings in a well-regulated way. Development occurs through warm and supportive relationships. Build that relationship with each child and family meeting them where they are and utilizing areas of strength to work on things that are more
difficult/challenging. Strategies for parents to implement at home so that growth and development continues outside of treatment sessions.
