THERAPLAY - Lords Valley & Plains Locations
Polaris Counseling and Wellness, LLC offers Theraplay services at our Lord's Valley & Plains offices. This is a 12 week program.
​
"Theraplay is a dyadic child and family therapy that has been recognized by the Association of Play Therapy as one of the seminal psychotherapies for children. Developed over 50 years ago, and practiced around the world, Theraplay was developed for any professional working to support healthy child/caregiver attachment. Strong attachment between the child and the important adults in their life has long been believed to be the basis of lifelong good mental health as well as the mainstay of resilience in the face of adversity. Modern brain research and the field of neuroscience have shown that attachment is the way in which children come to understand, trust and thrive in their world."

Parent-Child Interaction Therapy Plains Location
Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is an evidence-based, family-centered treatment designed to strengthen the relationship between caregivers and young children while improving behavior and emotional regulation. PCIT is most effective for children typically ages 2–7 who may be experiencing frequent tantrums, defiance, aggression, difficulty following directions, or emotional dysregulation.
​
Through live coaching and skill-building, caregivers learn practical, effective strategies to support positive behavior, increase connection, and respond to challenging behaviors in a calm, consistent, and supportive way. Sessions focus on enhancing the parent-child bond, building communication skills, and promoting healthy attachment—all while empowering caregivers with tools they can use at home and in everyday situations.
PCIT is structured, goal-oriented, and tailored to each family’s needs.
​
Families interested in this approach are encouraged to call to schedule an initial consultation to determine whether PCIT is the most appropriate treatment protocol for their child and family. During this consultation, providers will review concerns, goals, and treatment recommendations to ensure the best possible fit.
