why play therapy works
Children don’t always have the words to express what’s going on inside—but they naturally turn to play. In child-centered play therapy, play becomes their language, and toys become the tools through which they communicate feelings, build understanding, and begin to heal.
This gentle, non-directive approach allows children to move at their own pace. It supports emotional growth, builds confidence, and fosters self-awareness—all while helping your child feel deeply accepted just as they are.
As a Certified Play Therapist and bilingual Korean child therapist based in Tustin, CA, I offer this evidence-based therapy to help children work through anxiety, emotional challenges, and behavioral struggles—by using the language they already speak: play.
