West County Behavioral Health

West County Behavioral Health and Psychiatry in West County, MO, offers play therapy for children facing emotional, behavioral, or psychological challenges. Play therapy is a highly effective, child-centered approach that uses play as a medium for children to express their feelings, process difficult experiences, and develop emotional coping skills. This therapeutic technique allows children to engage with their emotions nonverbally, providing a safe and supportive environment for healing and self-expression.

Play therapy benefits young children who may not have the words to describe their feelings or traumatic experiences. By using toys, games, and other forms of play, children can work through fears, anxieties, or past trauma in a natural and non-threatening way.
