Dr. Perez utilizes play therapy and EMDR sand-tray therapy with children and adolescents. Play therapy is a therapeutic approach which correlates with the normal communicative and learning process of children. Play therapy is utilized to help children express what is distressing them. In contrast to adults, who are better able to express feelings through words, children are more likely to communicate feelings through play. In play therapy, the world that children build with toys is the language they use to communicate unconscious conflicts, adverse experiences, thoughts, and feelings.
Play therapy is also used with adolescents and even with adults. By utilizing EMDR sand-tray therapy, the adult may process and communicate what sometimes is difficult to verbalize due to the emotional pain associated to the verbal narrative. We all are born with a play system, and it never goes away!!!
