Play Therapy & Child Counseling (Ages 3–13)

When children act out, shut down, struggle in school, or seem constantly overwhelmed, it’s often their way of communicating stress they don’t yet have words for.

 

Play therapy gives children a safe, developmentally appropriate way to work through emotions, behavior challenges, and attention difficulties.

 

At Kane Counseling Services, we provide play therapy and child counseling for kids ages 3–13, with in-person sessions in Lehi and Provo and close collaboration with families and schools.

Parents looking for ADHD counseling and child therapy in Lehi can find play therapy services at Kane Counseling Services, where licensed therapists support children ages 3–13 with attention, behavior, emotional, and school-related challenges.

What is play therapy?

Play therapy is a research-supported approach that allows children to express thoughts and emotions through play, creativity, and interaction rather than relying only on words.

In play therapy:

  • Children communicate through toys, games, and creative activities

  • Therapists observe patterns, emotions, and coping strategies

  • Skills like emotional regulation, focus, and communication are built naturally

​

Play therapy is especially effective for children with ADHD, anxiety, and behavioral challenges.

The benefits of therapy for kids

We understand that children may struggle to express their feelings through words alone. That’s why we use play therapy, sand tray techniques, and a variety of creative tools to help kids process emotions, communicate, and build healthy coping strategies. Our expert therapists tailor these techniques to your child’s unique needs, fostering both emotional understanding and self-expression in a fun and engaging way.

Children’s therapy helps your child develop a strong sense of self, allowing them to embrace who they are and navigate life’s challenges with confidence.

Strengthen parent-child connections

Therapy works in partnership with parents, offering strategies to improve family dynamics and deepen the bond between you and your child.
