The Experiential approach is one of the most effective and widely used methods of play therapy.  While there are many playful techniques available to connect with children, the Experiential approach developed by Drs. Byron and Carol Norton provides children with the ability to safely access experiences, discharge energy, integrate memories and regulate emotions.  This training reflects the experiential nature of the model, so dress comfortably and be prepared to play.
