About Integrated Play Connections Therapy Center, PLCC.
At Integrated Play Connections Therapy Center, we offer play therapy services for children and families alongside specialized training, supervision, and consultation for professionals. Grounded in a child-centered and humanistic philosophy, our work honors the healing power of play and the innate capacity of each child to grow, heal, and thrive within a safe, accepting relationship.
We are committed to supporting both children and the professionals who serve them through developmentally appropriate, compassionate, and ethically grounded care. Our goal is to strengthen the quality of play therapy practice in Northern Virginia and beyond while fostering nurturing environments for children across all settings. Beyond clinical services, we extend education and guidance to caregivers, educators, and community partners, advocating for the transformative role of play in promoting healthy development and emotional well-being.
About Us
We have been immersed in the world of play therapy for over 15 years. Through our volunteer work with the Virginia Association for Play Therapy, we recognized a pressing need for affordable and accessible play therapy services, continuing education, supervision, and consultation. Seeing the profound impact these resources have on both professionals and the children they serve inspired us to act.
This shared vision and commitment to supporting children and the professionals who care for them led us to establish Integrated Play Connections Therapy Center, PLLC, a center dedicated to providing high-quality play therapy services while fostering a collaborative, empowering community for those working with children.
