Your child is struggling and you are worried about their well-being.
You’re not in this alone.

Your child is struggling with big emotions or challenging behaviors, and you’re starting to feel like nothing is working. You love your child, and you’re ready for them to be more regulated, confident, and at ease with their feelings.

Play therapy can help.

Play therapy provides children with a natural way to express and process their emotions - through play. At SF Play Therapy, we believe that with time, tools, and opportunity, every child has the potential to become the best version of themselves.

Individual Child Therapy

Specialized therapy for children ages 3-14, using techniques that are evidence-based and meet children’s developmental needs. Play therapy allows children to express and process their feelings in a safe, supportive environment, helping them build coping skills and work through emotional challenges.

Sibling/Group Therapy

Sibling play therapy sessions are specifically designed to help siblings improve their relationship and navigate family challenges together. Additionally, group play therapy is beneficial for those struggling with social skills or having difficulty connecting with others. Sibling/group play therapy provides an opportunity for children to practice communication, cooperation, and conflict management.

Parent Consultation

Parenting is one of the most rewarding, yet challenging, roles. When your child is facing emotional or behavioral struggles, it can feel overwhelming. Parenting support is designed to guide you through these challenges by providing practical tools, strategies, and compassionate advice to strengthen your connection with your child and help your family thrive.

More about me…

Behavior is communication

When we understand the underlying needs behind a behavior, we can address those needs in healthier, more effective ways.

Relationships foster healing

Safe, trusting relationships—where a child feels valued and understood—are key to building resilience and overcoming life’s difficulties.

Growth starts from within

By strengthening a child’s internal resilience, we can create lasting change in behavior and promote long-term emotional growth.
