Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT): CCPT is an intervention for children who are experiencing social, emotional, behavioral and relational disorders. CCPT utilizes play, the natural language of children, and the therapeutic relationship to provide a safe, consistent therapeutic environment in which a child can experience full acceptance, empathy, and understanding from the counselor and process inner experiences and feelings through play and symbols. The overarching goal of CCPT is to unleash the child’s potential to move toward integration and self-enhancing ways of being. CCPT strives to support the following skills:

Learn to respect themselves
Learn their feelings are acceptable
Learn to express their feelings responsibly
Learn to assume responsibility for themselves
Learn to be creative in confronting problems
Learn self-control and self-direction
Learn to gradually accept themselves
Learn to make choices and be responsible for their choices
