Contact The Playful Path Child Therapy in Redondo Beach

The Playful Path is a private pay practice. This keeps your child's care confidential, individualized, and free from insurance requirements like diagnostic labels. If you have a PPO plan, I'm happy to provide a monthly superbill you can submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Before starting, call your insurance company and ask about your out-of-network outpatient mental health benefits for in-person therapy, telehealth, and social skills groups.

Big feelings, tantrums, and rough patches are a normal part of childhood. Therapy may help if those challenges are happening more often, lasting longer, and affecting daily life, like school refusal, constant worry, trouble making friends, or meltdowns that leave the whole family stuck. If your gut says your child is carrying more than they should, trust that instinct.

Adults process the world through words. Children process it through play. Asking a young or neurodivergent child to sit and talk about feelings can feel overwhelming. In play therapy, toys, games, and art become their words. By stepping into their world, we help them work through emotions, ease anxiety, and build self-regulation naturally.
