Welcome to San Diego Center for Play Therapy

“The most important task God can give is the opportunity to be a parent.”

—Garry Landreth

San Diego Center for Play Therapy is child and family focused. We offer a variety of services aimed at advancing the psychosocial development of children and improving their quality of life. We share effective, innovative skills with parents and care-givers, and we help them find adaptive solutions to their unique struggles and needs.

We believe play is a child's natural means of communicating and making sense of the world. In play therapy, children are given the opportunity to explore, cope with, or resolve their life experiences, feelings, and difficulties.

We also believe a child's environment is essential in this process; therefore, we work with parents, schools, and other significant elements in the child's life as partners in facilitating change.
