Cognitive Behavioral Play Therapy for Children in NYC

As a parent, it can be challenging to watch your child struggle with mental health issues. At Nao Medical, we understand the importance of early intervention and offer cognitive behavioral play therapy to help children overcome their challenges.

What is Cognitive Behavioral Play Therapy?

Cognitive behavioral play therapy is a form of therapy that uses play to help children learn coping skills and manage their emotions. It is based on the principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on changing negative thought patterns and behaviors.

During cognitive behavioral play therapy sessions, children work with a licensed therapist to identify negative thoughts and behaviors and learn new, positive ways to cope with their emotions. Play is used as a tool to help children express themselves and learn new skills in a fun and engaging way.

Cognitive behavioral play therapy can help children with a variety of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma. By learning new coping skills and strategies, children can improve their self-esteem, manage their emotions, and develop healthy relationships with others.
