As a mom of two wonderfully wild children, I know firsthand that parenting can be both incredibly joyful and incredibly challenging at the same exact time. Raising children today comes with unique pressures, and I believe that parents deserve support, encouragement, and practical tools to help their families thrive.

I have been a practicing play therapist in Colorado since 2013, and there is nothing I love more than helping children feel understood, connected, and emotionally resilient.

Through the language of play, children can express feelings, process difficult experiences, build decision-making skills, and strengthen their relationships with the important adults in their lives.

Research on child-centered play therapy consistently shows that early intervention can make a profound difference on emotional well-being, in childhood and throughout adulthood. In many ways, an ounce of prevention truly is worth a pound of cure when it comes to mental health. By supporting children and families early, we can prevent behavioral struggles from becoming even bigger challenges later on.

Our goal at SchoolPlay is to create non-judgmental, accepting relationships where children can thrive and parents can feel supported. Please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Warmly,

Dr. Alison
