Counseling Services
At Counseling and Play Therapy Center, it all starts with you. Whether you're feeling stressed, overwhelmed, anxious, dealing with past trauma, navigating a life transition, or facing parenting challenges, counseling can help.
Our skilled clinicians provide counseling services for children, adolescents, and adults in Sheridan, Gillette, and Buffalo, Wyoming, using a variety of therapeutic approaches based on each client's individual needs.
Traditional Therapy
Whether you're feeling stressed, overwhelmed, anxious, or dealing with past trauma, life transitions, or parenting challenges, counseling can help. A skilled clinician can support you and your family in navigating these difficulties and fostering healthier well-being.
Our clinicians utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, Brainspotting, Reality Therapy, and other modalities based on the individual needs of each client. We treat trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and teach skills to help manage the stressors of daily living.
Experiential Play Therapy
Toys Are the Language of Play
For children, play is a natural way to communicate, express feelings, explore experiences, and make sense of the world around them. At Counseling and Play Therapy Center, our highly skilled, trained, and certified play therapists work primarily with children ages 3–12, depending on each child's individual needs.
Our therapists are Registered Play Therapists-in-training who are meeting the rigorous requirements of national certification. Our model is Experiential Play Therapy, an approach that allows the child to lead and direct the play within a safe and supportive therapeutic environment.
Building a Trusting Relationship
Building a trusting relationship with our clients is the cornerstone of our practice. Through Experiential Play Therapy, children can communicate and work through their experiences in a way that feels natural to them.
Our goal is to provide children with a therapeutic environment where they feel comfortable expressing themselves, developing new skills, and working toward healthier well-being.
Specialized Play Therapy Care
Play therapy requires specialized education, training, experience, and supervision. When choosing a play therapist for your child, we encourage parents and caregivers to look for national certification.
Counseling and Play Therapy Center is proud to provide specialized Experiential Play Therapy to children in Wyoming.
Jungian Sandplay
Jungian Sandplay is used with people of all ages. This therapeutic approach engages the unconscious mind to support the natural process of psychological healing.
Your clinician can help determine whether Jungian Sandplay is an appropriate therapeutic approach based on your individual needs.
Brainspotting (BSP)
Brainspotting is a body-based therapy used to help process trauma and emotional pain held within the nervous system.
This approach works by identifying specific eye positions, or "spots," connected with internal feelings and experiences, helping clients access and process experiences that may be difficult to reach through traditional talk therapy alone.
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)
Our EMDR-trained therapists use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients reprocess negative beliefs that may be affecting behavior and everyday life.
EMDR is a psychotherapy designed to help people heal from symptoms and emotional distress resulting from disturbing life experiences.
Expressive Arts
We offer a range of expressive arts, including painting, drawing, sculpting, and crafts, to support therapeutic development. Using artistic materials is a treatment modality that allows people, especially children, to express their inner world, use narratives to express their feelings, and learn about their own abilities.
Our clinicians may incorporate expressive arts into the therapeutic process based on the individual needs of each client.
Let us help.
