Play Therapy
in Saint Louis
Hope for children and families with BIG Feelings and BIG Behaviors
We help St. Louis families heal and thrive through play therapy, play-based therapy and, engaging and effective approaches to support children’s emotional wellbeing.
Unfortunately, there’s no manual for parenting - despite what the piles of books and “helpful advice” may imply. It’s easy for the stress to pile on quickly - especially when your child is experiencing big feelings, big behaviors, or big problems (maybe even all three). And somewhere in the middle of searching “early childhood trauma,” “bonding with your adoptive child,” or “helping children with emotional outbursts” for the 100th time, it starts feeling like there’s no way out.
When Google isn’t enough, we’re here to help.
Bud to Bloom Play Therapy offers a safe environment and expert therapeutic care for families who want to foster connection, safety, and security.
We provide play therapy in St. Louis, MO for ages 0-18 and family therapy services - because grown-ups need support, too.
