ABOUT US

At Restorative Wellness, we use play based therapeutic interventions to cultivate healing in a child-friendly space that fosters comfort and safety. Through play, the therapist can help children explore their emotions, work through difficult experiences, and develop coping strategies. Because we know that each person is uniquely created, this can appear different for each family from activities like puppet play, sand tray, games, role-play, and even traditional talk therapy.
