How PlaySpace helps therapists

Alliance

Staying present in the session

Alliance drafts your note from the session itself, so you are not splitting attention between the child and a keyboard.

Alliance

Understanding the relationship

Alliance tracks how connection and trust develop over time, which helps you notice when the relationship needs repair.

Sessions

Continuing the work at home

Play Plans give families a small, meaningful way to practice during the week. You review each one before it is sent.

Ways to use PlaySpace

01Studio

Starting from what a child loves

For a child who talks about nothing but dinosaurs, you can turn those dinosaurs into a story about feelings before he arrives.

02Alliance

Noticing when trust dips

After a difficult week, Alliance shows that the relationship has weakened, so you can open the next session with repair in mind.

03Alliance

Practicing the calm-down plan

You send a short Play Plan the family can run together one evening, so the skill is rehearsed before the next hard moment.
