Your child is struggling and you are worried about their well-being. There’s a path forward.

You know your child is capable of joy, connection, and confidence, but something’s getting in the way. You’ve tried to support them through big feelings, tricky behaviors, or emotional ups and downs, but it still feels like they’re carrying more than they can handle.

Play therapy can help.

At San Francisco Play Therapy, we work with children in a way that feels natural to them - through play. Whether it’s anxiety, emotional intensity, or a big transition, therapy gives kids space to process and grow, while giving you insights and tools to support them along the way.

More about me…

Counseling designed for children by a therapist who understands them.

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.
