What is Play Therapy? A Boise Counselor's Quick Explanation

Here are two videos that help explain how play therapy works.  This first one gives and overview.

To watch the video click here: "play therapy works!"


The second video uses humor to explain why traditional talk therapy does not work with children, then explains a bit more about play therapy.

New Boise Counseling Office

I'm so excited to start posting about Counseling in Boise.  My name is Kristin Wright, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor.  I am joining two other counselors in opening a private practice group called Wellness Counseling Center, located at 4980 W State Street, Boise, ID 83703.  This blog will incorporate a lot of topics in the counseling realm.

At Wellness Counseling Center, we have counselors who specialize in Marriage and Family, Nature Counseling, Grief and Loss, Trauma, Play Therapy, and Behavioral Wellness.  I specialize in Play Therapy and Behavioral Wellness.  I find working with kids and adults very rewarding.  Future posts will expand upon the definitions of each of these specialties, what they entail, and what type of clients would benefit from such specialized counseling.

Please comment and let me know what types of topics you'd like me to write about.  There are so many different topics and cutting edge research I am excited to share about counseling and how it is changing lives!
