What is play therapy and sand tray therapy?

Play therapy and sand tray therapy let children express and work through feelings through play rather than talk alone. They are well-suited to kids who cannot yet put what is wrong into words.

Are parents involved in child therapy?

Do you offer therapy in Spanish?

Yes. The Center for Family Unity offers terapia en español for families who prefer to work in Spanish.
