Play Matters is the newest branch of Therapy Matters. It is designed to encourage the growth and development of children in the Louisville, Boulder, and Denver areas. Play Matters isn't therapy, but children will learn mindfulness and coping techniques through play with one of our registered psychotherapists. Our fun, simple, and engaging tools will help your child build confidence and encourage self awareness.
Upcoming events:
Our five senses help us come back to our bodies and ground. Join us for a day of exploring our senses through a scavenger hunt, games, and activities. Campers will learn the importance of taking space to decompress and notice their senses.
