Play Therapy North Carolina
Providing in person child directed play therapy in Belmont and the Charlotte area.
Supporting Children Across North Carolina Through Play
Early childhood is a critical time for emotional, social, and developmental growth. During these years, children experience big emotions, changes, and challenges they may not yet have the words to explain. Play therapy offers a developmentally appropriate approach that allows children to express themselves, process experiences, and build emotional skills through play.
Play therapy can be especially helpful when children are struggling with anxiety, behavioral changes, emotional regulation, or difficulty adjusting to transitions at home or school. By working with a trained play therapist, children are supported in a way that feels natural, safe, and respectful of their developmental stage.
At Restore Counseling & Therapy, we offer play therapy services throughout North Carolina, combining in-person care in Belmont with secure virtual sessions to support families statewide.

Child-directed play therapy is an evidence-informed approach in which the child leads the play while the therapist follows their cues. This allows children to express themselves naturally while the therapist reflects emotions, supports problem-solving, and helps children work through experiences they may not yet be able to describe.
Play therapy supports children in several important areas of development, including:
- Emotional Expression & Regulation
- Behavioral Challenges & Impulse Control
- Improving Behavior and Impulse Control
- Identity Development & Confidence
- Attention, Focus, and Neurodivergent Support (ADHD & Autism)

ABOUT US
Why Work With Restore Counseling & Therapy
Everyone has a story. We’re here to listen to yours.
Life can feel overwhelming when you’ve tried many options without success. Many clients come to us exhausted by their efforts, feeling trapped in the same challenges, unsure of where to turn next.
We recognize that you are more than your past experiences and challenges. We know that you have dreams, goals, and aspirations. We actively listen to your story and build bridges from where you are now to where you want to be.
With over a decade of experience, we built our practice on individualized, trauma-informed therapy that gets results. We help you make connections, identify patterns, and guide you through those “lightbulb” moments to unlock real, lasting change.
At Restore Counseling & Therapy, we believe therapy should be:
Effective
Therapy is an investment of time, effort, and money, so it should bring real, lasting results. We always keep effective, results-based therapy as the goal.
Individualized
Every person is unique, so we personalize therapy to meet your needs. Your flexible treatment plan evolves with you, staying relevant as you make progress.
Trauma-Informed
Many people carry trauma without realizing it. By treating trauma for what it is—rather than seeing it as a flaw or weakness—you can make lasting, meaningful change.
