Laura Van Camp, LMFT, RPT-S
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Registered Play Therapist, I support children’s mental health through play, art, and creativity! I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and families who experience difficulties with behavioral and emotional regulation or navigating life transitions, loss, trauma, abuse, attachment difficulties, social impairment, anxiety and depression,
It’s International Play Therapy Week and we are celebrating!! 🥳
To an adult, this looks like play.
To a child’s nervous system, this is where healing happens.
In play therapy, children don’t have to explain what they feel before they’re ready.
They show us—through stories, symbols, movement, and connection.
🧠 The dollhouse becomes a way to process experiences
🌊 The sand tray helps regulate the nervous system
🗣️ Puppet play metaphor helps a child find their voice
Creating develops perseverance, problem solving, and frustration tolerance
✨ Play builds confidence, safety, and emotional resilience
This isn’t “just playing.”
It’s developmentally appropriate therapy—meeting children where they are, not where we wish they could be.
If your child struggles with big emotions, anxiety, aggression, or shutting down… this is why play therapy works.
