Play Therapy in Grand Forks, ND

HELPING CHILDREN EXPRESS, HEAL, AND GROW THROUGH PLAY

At Courageous Connections, we provide compassionate play therapy services in Grand Forks, ND designed to help children process emotions, build confidence, and develop healthy coping skills in a safe and supportive environment. Because children often communicate differently than adults, play therapy uses age-appropriate activities, toys, creative expression, and guided interaction to help children work through challenges in a way that feels natural to them.


We strive to create a welcoming space where children feel safe expressing thoughts and emotions while building emotional regulation, communication skills, and resilience. We work closely with parents and caregivers throughout the therapeutic process to help support lasting growth and healing both inside and outside of therapy.


Whether your child is experiencing anxiety, behavioral struggles, emotional stress, trauma, or major life transitions, Courageous Connections is here to support children and families throughout the Grand Forks area with compassionate, personalized care.

Our Approach

With children and families, I use Adlerian Play Therapy which is a systems approach to looking at the family as a whole. Kids don’t develop in a bubble. I believe we can better understand what is going on with your child by looking both at them individually, in the family, and at school. Through their experiences and behaviors in these environments and settings, we can get a fuller picture and better learn how to help your child and your family. Children do not come to therapy to talk. Play therapy enables them to process their experiences through play using things like experiential play, storytelling, metaphors, art, movement, music/dance, and sand tray therapy. 

Helpful Resources
