Play Therapy

Play Therapy Therapists in the Greater Denver Area and Across Colorado – Accepting New Clients

When children struggle emotionally, behaviorally, or socially, it can be difficult for them to express what they’re experiencing in words. That’s where play therapy comes in. This evidence-based approach is especially helpful for young children coping with anxiety, trauma, behavioral challenges, grief, or changes like divorce or relocation. Through play, children naturally communicate their thoughts and feelings, offering a powerful window into their inner world.

Play therapy offers a developmentally appropriate way for children to explore difficult emotions, build coping skills, and gain confidence. At Westside Behavioral Care, our trained therapists create a safe, welcoming environment where play becomes the language of healing. Sessions may include art, storytelling, sand tray work, role-playing, or games designed to promote emotional regulation, problem-solving, and connection. For parents, our clinicians offer insight and strategies to support your child’s progress at home. Play therapy can be a transformative experience, not just for the child, but for the entire family.

 

Appointments are available in person across the Greater Denver Area, including Littleton, Boulder, Wheat Ridge, Englewood, and Greenwood Village, or through secure online therapy statewide. All of our therapists are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many are also credentialed with other insurance plans. You can browse available therapists by specialty, insurance, location, and age to find the right fit for your needs. You can also call us at (303) 986-4197 or email info@westsidebehavioral.com for personal assistance scheduling your first session.
