Play Therapy
Young children benefit from a special kind of therapy to allow them to express themselves in developmentally appropriate ways. Play therapy builds on the normal learning and communicative process that help children express what is troubling them using toys, activities, and play.
There are many counselors that will see children yet have no specialized training to do so. It requires advanced, specialized training, experience, and supervision, for a mental health professional to earn the Registered Play Therapist (RPT), or Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor (RPT-S) credential. All our child counselors are credentialed as RPT, RPT-S, or are completing their supervised training to become so.

Child Counseling
Counseling services are provided for children of all ages and the therapeutic approach (play or activity therapy) will vary depending upon the child’s age. Parents seek counseling for their children for a variety of reasons and some of these may be to address fears, anxiety, bullying, adjustment to a life change, behavior problems, or relationship difficulties. We work closely with parents to help them understand their child’s behavior and how to help their child flourish at home and school.
Call Prosper Counseling today to see how we can help you and your children.
