At Asheville Family Counseling, we specialize in providing child and family counseling services using Theraplay, a play-based therapeutic approach. Theraplay helps you and your child in many different ways.
What Does a Theraplay Session Look Like?
During Theraplay sessions, we work closely with children and their parents to engage in a range of interactive play activities that promote positive interactions and build a stronger sense of connection. The counselor acts as a facilitator, and helps you and your child by providing guidance and support to help the child and parent learn new skills and behaviors that can strengthen their relationship.
What Makes Theraplay Unique?
One of the unique aspects of Theraplay is its focus on structured activities that are designed to promote specific behaviors and interactions. For example, we may use activities like “Bubble Play,” where the child and parent blow bubbles back and forth, or “Ride the Pony,” where the child sits on the caregiver’s lap and is bounced up and down. These activities help to promote positive communication, cooperation, and trust.

At Asheville Family Counseling, we have found that Theraplay is effective in helping children and families with a wide range of behavioral issues, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma. Our counselors are dedicated to providing compassionate, effective care that meets the unique needs of your child and your family.
