Play-Based Therapists

Play-based therapy is one of the most effective and developmentally attuned approaches for helping children and youth process emotions, build resilience, and develop healthy coping skills. At Safe & Sound Therapeutics in Kelowna, our experienced child and youth therapists use play therapy to meet children where they naturally communicate — through play, creativity, movement, and imaginative expression. This evidence-based method supports children navigating anxiety, trauma, ADHD, autism, emotional regulation difficulties, grief, behavioral challenges, family transitions, and school-related stress. Play therapy allows young clients to safely explore feelings, strengthen self-esteem, improve communication, and restore a sense of safety and connection. By actively involving caregivers when appropriate, we support families in understanding their child’s emotional world and building practical tools that lead to lasting positive change at home and school. We offer in-person and online counselling for children, youth, and families across Kelowna, the Okanagan Valley, and throughout British Columbia.
