Play therapy can look simple from the outside, but it is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps children build emotional regulation, social skills, and confidence through developmentally appropriate activities. This article explains what’s really happening during play-based sessions and why this approach is so effective.

This long-running Oshawa summer therapy camp offers a nature-informed psychotherapy program for children who benefit from structured support in a small group setting.
