You can recognize the effectiveness of Play Therapy by observing positive shifts in your child's emotions, behaviors, and coping mechanisms over time. Although progress might be slow, signs of improvement can include enhanced emotional regulation, fewer tantrums or outbursts, increased self-confidence, and better social interactions.
Your child may start to express their thoughts and feelings more openly or use play to process emotions outside of therapy sessions. Other indicators of progress include reduced anxiety or behavioral issues, improved problem-solving skills, and a greater ability to manage frustration or disappointment. We will also provide feedback on your child's progress, highlighting themes in play that indicate emotional growth or healing. Since each child progresses at their own pace, maintaining consistency and patience is crucial for achieving meaningful results.
At Nurture & Grow, we welcome children, teens, adults, couples, and families. We are skilled in various modalities tailored to treat diverse populations. We understand that everyone seeking mental health services is part of larger systems—families, friend groups, neighborhoods, towns, and jobs—and we incorporate this perspective into our therapeutic approach.
We are out of network and do not participate in insurance plans. However, many of our clients typically receive between 80% and 90% reimbursement through their out-of-network benefits. Please find more information about our rates here.

This call is also a great opportunity for you to ask any questions you have and share any concerns. We want to ensure you feel heard and understood, and that all your queries are addressed.
