How Play Becomes Healing for Children with Anxiety or ADHD

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 17:50:29 +0000

Children often communicate through creativity long before they can express emotions in words. For kids struggling with anxiety or ADHD in children, play is more than recreation — it becomes a doorway into emotional healing.

At Resilient Mind Psychotherapy, we use play therapy to help children explore their inner world safely and naturally. Through art, movement, storytelling, sensory tools, and imaginative play, kids learn how to calm their bodies, understand their feelings, and build emotional regulation skills that support them at home and in school.

Play therapy is especially effective for children who:
• Feel overwhelmed easily
• Have trouble focusing or sitting still
• Experience worry or perfectionism
• Struggle with impulsivity
• Find it hard to express their thoughts or emotions

In addition to individual sessions, our group therapy for kids provides opportunities to practice communication, cooperation, and social skills with peers who understand similar challenges. Many children feel relief when they realize they’re not alone — and that friendships can grow in supportive, therapeutic environments.

For families seeking answers, our ADHD testing for children offers clarity and guidance, helping parents understand their child’s unique strengths and needs.
