Welcome to Creative Play Solutions!  At Creative Play Solutions, we have counselors that provide counseling for children, adolescents, adults, couples and families.  We offer a collaborative approach to working with families that can result in lasting changes - not just a bandaid!  We are conveniently located behind the North Georgia Premium Outlet Mall in Dawsonville, Ga.

FOR CHILDREN:  Because most children do not yet have the developmental skills to respond to typical "talk" therapy, our child therapists frequently use play therapy.  While most people view play as simply "just fun", play is actually the natural language of all children.  Play is necessary for development!  Play allows children to express their feelings about events, relationships, and environments in a safe, non-threatening way.  It allows children to try out different solutions to problems and practice new skills.  It also allows them to gain insight into situations and relieve stress.  Because play is their language, the toys are the words.  Play therapists are trained to recognize the themes and symbols of play and then use play to facilitate change, growth, or healing.  Play therapy typically consists of using toys, art, games, sand, puppets and dramatic play.

FOR TEENS AND ADULTS:  Our teen and adult therapists use an eclectic style of therapy.  Therapy can consist of expressive therapy using sand, art, or games.  However, our therapists also use traditional "talk" therapies as well.  We offer individual, family, couple, or marital counseling.  On occasion, we offer workshops for adults too.
