Website for child and play therapists

Who is usually searching

Parents searching when a child shows anxiety, behavioral changes, school struggles, trauma reactions, or emotional dysregulation — often worried, urgent, and unsure what play therapy actually means.

How people search

Real queries and situations your site should be able to answer:

• Play therapist for child near me
• Child therapist for anxiety age 7
• Play therapy for trauma in children
• Therapist for child behavioral problems

What the site must include

• Parent-facing page explaining play therapy in plain language — what it is, who it helps, what parents should expect
• Age range clarity and parental involvement approach
• Language for common parent concerns — tantrums, school refusal, grief, divorce adjustment, ADHD overlap
• Referral-friendly section for pediatricians and school counselors if relevant
• Gentle intake path with practical details about sessions, scheduling, and insurance

The positioning move

Parents need to trust you with their child before they trust the modality. Explain play therapy through the problems they recognize — not through jargon that sounds like a graduate seminar.

Structure and search readiness

Build a parent pathway separate from any adult individual therapy pages. FAQs are especially valuable here — parents search with practical questions before they are ready to call.
