Licensed Play Therapist (LPT)

A Licensed Play Therapist (LPT) is a mental health professional trained to use play as a therapeutic tool to help children express emotions, develop coping skills, and address behavioral or emotional challenges. They are licensed clinicians with specialized training in child development and psychotherapy techniques tailored for young clients. Play therapy allows children to communicate and process their experiences in a natural, safe environment, enabling deeper understanding and growth. LPTs work collaboratively with families and other professionals to support the child's emotional well-being and resilience.
