What Is Child-Centered Play Therapy?

At Lakeside Counseling Center in Madison, Wisconsin, we specialize in Child-Centered Play Therapy—a gentle, developmentally appropriate approach to therapy that helps children express emotions, resolve inner conflicts, and build emotional resilience through play.

Unlike traditional counseling, play therapy allows children to communicate in the way they know best—through creative, spontaneous play. Our licensed child therapists in Madison are trained to observe and reflect your child’s experiences, helping them feel seen, heard, and supported.
