Children's Play Therapy Services

Play Therapy Services by Dr. Brenda Wilbanks

Dr. Brenda Wilbanks offers specialized play therapy services for children from ages 3-10 years old in Lubbock, TX, and the South Plains area. Play therapy is a type of therapy which allows children to act out and to resolve their emotions in a way that is natural to them. It is not simply play, but is an accepted therapeutic method for young children.

Toys are chosen carefully to meet the needs of the child. For example, if a child is angry or sad or simply confused, play themes will often reflect this. Our role is to observe and then attempt to access how the child is feeling and what his or her needs are.

Play therapy is beneficial for a number of issues including trauma, anxiety, depression, and behavioral problems. This is especially effective for children who have difficulty, for whatever reasons, in expressing themselves verbally.
