InterPlay Therapy uses play to help people unlock parts of themselves hidden due to societal pressures, time, and experiences. InterPlay aims to develop people’s self-awareness through physical movement, the mind-body connection, and fun, shared activities.
Practitioners of InterPlay Therapy state that the body has within it inherent wisdom. Through creative and experiential activities, people can connect with parts of themselves that may have been lost to social pressures to conform to norms and rules.
Therapists can use InterPlay Therapy in individual counseling sessions, group therapy sessions, or even large-scale workshop sessions.
Creative expression is key to InterPlay Therapy. But people don’t have to be creative to benefit from it. Sessions include various creative exercises that are easy to follow. Your counselor may ask you to use movement to express an emotion, tell a story, or notice the way your body moves freely.
InterPlay Therapy can be beneficial for different mental health concerns and can be used simultaneously with more traditional forms of talk therapy.

Life can be stressful; how you handle it directly relates to your health. Health Psychology recognizes the interplay between body, mind and spirit. This holistic approach gets results. When the system is over-stressed, something has got to give. Our ability to think and problem solve is impacted; we get cranky and irritable. The body rebels, gets sick and tells us to slow down. Where to start?...

My client is the point of reference and while in counseling I count myself as a small and temporary part of the context of my client’s life. The interplay of perspective and context act on one...
