Helping Kids Feel Understood, Supported, and Empowered

Is your child struggling with anxiety, depression, behavioral challenges, trauma, or big life changes? It can be heartbreaking and stressful to watch your child struggle and not know how to help.
At The Counseling Corner, our specialized Child and Play Therapy in Orlando helps children express emotions, build confidence, and develop the tools to thrive—emotionally, socially, and academically.

For over 25 years, our licensed child therapists have supported Central Florida families through compassionate, evidence-based care that meets kids right where they are.

🎨 What Is Play Therapy?

Play therapy is an evidence-based form of child counseling that uses toys, art, games, and storytelling to help children express feelings and resolve problems naturally.

Children don’t always have the words to describe what’s happening inside. Through play, they show us their fears, worries, and hopes—and with the support of a trained play therapist, they learn how to process, heal, and grow.

Our Orlando play therapists integrate:

  • Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) – Builds trust, confidence, and self-understanding.

  • Directive Play Therapy – Focuses on specific goals like anxiety, trauma, or emotional regulation.

  • Sand Tray Therapy – Encourages emotional expression and control through creative storytelling.

  • Theraplay® & Family Play Therapy – Strengthens parent-child bonds and secure attachment.

🌱 We Support Children Facing

Each session is personalized with developmentally appropriate methods to meet your child’s age, personality, and emotional needs.

💬 What Happens in Child Therapy?

Your child’s journey starts with a parent intake session, where you’ll share background and goals.
Then, sessions take place in our welcoming Orlando playroom—filled with toys, art materials, and games selected to encourage expression and trust.

Children learn to:

  • Understand and express emotions safely

  • Develop coping and problem-solving skills

  • Improve relationships and self-esteem

  • Heal from trauma or loss

  • Strengthen communication at home and school

Parents receive regular updates and practical strategies to reinforce progress outside of therapy.
