Welcome to The Center for Play Therapy!
“The playing adult steps sideward into another reality; the playing child advances
forward to new stages of mastery.” – Erik H. Erikson
Below are clinical forms for treatment at The Center for Play Therapy, as well as both articles and websites for parents and families to refer to with regard to children and teenage mental health topics. I will be updating this page regularly so as to provide you with the most up-to-date research and information on play therapy and general mental health for your child, teen, and/or family!
Forms
After making an appointment either from our Appointment Maker here on the website or over the phone, please take the time to complete these forms and send them to me so as to save us time, which can be dedicated to the initial evaluation and observation. If you have any questions and/or concerns with any or all of these forms, please don't hesitate to contact me and I will guide you through the process. Thanks!
