Session Types

Individual Artplay Sessions

Artplay sessions use art-making, sensory play and large movement to help children explore their feelings. Sessions are self-directed, meaning we follow the lead of your child while we help them strategize ways to become emotionally successful. There is a “you make it, you take it,” policy at Artplay, so creations can be taken home to utilize as therapeutic tools for regulation. We want to lower anxiety, while empowering kids to create their own positive self-identity. After sessions, you will receive insights and suggestions for how you can help support your child, based on what they are mastering. 

Age Range: 4 to 18 years old
Cost: $140 per session
Length: 50 minutes, typically every other week

Sibling Artplay Sessions

Sibling sessions are for brothers and/or sisters to join together in the Artplay process of creating harmony. The intention is for them to build a stronger, healthier relationship that will last a lifetime. We recognize that families need support outside of the individual child, and that often times siblings struggle to get along, so we conduct sessions to encourage kindness, as well as giving them skills to co-exist in a positive ways. After each session, you will get feedback about how you can support what your children are working on together.

Number of siblings: 2-3
Cost: $170 per session
Length: 50 minutes, typically every other week

In-the-Loop Call with Your Artplay Helper

Artplay offers half hour phone calls for current Artplay parents (child must be a current client), to guide and support them, as we learn their child's needs. These calls typically take place anytime after three sessions. Our philosophy is child-centric, meaning that we believe children can learn to manage their own emotions... that parents and other adults cannot do this for them. But, sometimes, parents want to know more about what we are working on during Artplay sessions, so they can support their child based on The Artplay Way. These sessions take place by phone.
