Using the natural language of childhood to heal emotions, build resilience, and spark social joy.
Young children rarely have the mature verbal vocabulary to articulate complex emotional distress, anxieties, or developmental frustrations. For a child, play is the natural, instinctive medium through which they process experiences, make sense of social dynamics, and express inner emotions.
At Trishaa Neuro Development Clinic, led by Dr. Ekta J Daftari, our specialized play therapists use evidence-backed Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT), sand-tray therapies, and symbolic role-play. We create a nurturing space where children feel deeply understood, learn emotional self-regulation, and build reciprocal social bonds.

Yes. For children with Autism, play therapy teaches reciprocal joint attention, expands repetitive play routines into imaginative scenarios, and builds the foundational non-verbal social skills required for peer friendships.
That varies from child to child depending on the diagnosis and the goal, for example whether the child is resolving a situational life stressor or working on long-term neurodevelopmental social communication skills.
