Growing up today is a tall order. Children are under pressure from many directions. Whether the issue is long school days or family issues, children often don’t express themselves verbally but rather act out in age-appropriate or not age-appropriate manners. Whether it is fighting with siblings or being defiant with parents, this could be the child communicating for help. Play therapy is one of the foremost evidence-based modalities for helping children to come out of their shells.
For over 40 years, Pesach Tikvah have been the pioneers of play therapy for the Chasidishe, Yeshivish, and Orthodox Jewish demographics. For children navigating difficult experiences, such as childhood trauma, emotional and behavioral diagnoses, or family dissolution, play therapy can be an entry point for healing. Pesach Tikvah’s play therapy takes place in the presence of a licensed and trained mental health professional who combines play, art, and a tailored approach that helps children to develop coping skills.
