Children often express their feelings and experiences through play long before they can put them into words. At Be Well Psychology in Calgary, we offer play-based therapy to help children explore emotions, build coping skills, and process life experiences in a way that feels natural and engaging.
Play-based therapy uses the natural language of play to help children communicate, learn, and heal. Through art, storytelling, games, and creative activities, therapists help children express thoughts and feelings they might not yet have the words for.
Our child therapists are trained in both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and play-based techniques, allowing sessions to balance structure and spontaneity. The therapist follows the child’s lead while integrating evidence-based strategies that support emotional regulation, problem-solving, and social skills.
Play-Based Therapy Can Help Children:
During sessions, children are encouraged to express themselves through play while the therapist observes themes, emotions, and patterns that emerge. Over time, the therapist helps the child understand their feelings, build healthy coping strategies, and strengthen their sense of self.
Parents are an important part of the process. We provide regular updates and guidance so you can continue supporting your child’s growth and emotional well-being at home.
At Be Well Psychology, each therapist is encouraged to specialize in areas they are most passionate about. Several members of our team focus on child and youth therapy, combining creativity with evidence-based approaches to make therapy both effective and enjoyable.
