In-person play therapy in Condesa, Mexico City

Play therapy is a therapeutic modality where play becomes the primary tool for communication and healing. Children can't always verbalize what they feel, but they can show it through symbolic play.

In my sessions, the office transforms into a space full of carefully selected materials: dolls, sand, paints, blocks, puppets, and board games. Each material has a therapeutic purpose.

I'm not the one directing the play — the child sets the pace. My role is to accompany, observe, and facilitate emotional exploration in a safe way.

I integrate play therapy with a narrative approach. This means that, in addition to playing, I help the child build a story about what they're experiencing — a story where the problem doesn't define who they are, but something they can face.

Sessions last 45 minutes and take place in person only in Mexico City. I work with children ages 4 to 12, and always include parental guidance as a fundamental part of the process.

I work with children ages 4 to 12. At these ages, play is the most natural way to express fears, anger, sadness, or questions that don't have words yet.

If your child is already a teenager, the process changes: I work from a narrative therapy approach, with sessions in person in Condesa or online.

The first session is with the parent or legal guardian: that's where you authorize the process, handle payment, and sign the informed consent. From the second session on, I work individually with your child.

Guidance for the caregiving adults is a fundamental part of the process. What happens in session is better supported when, at home, there's an understanding of what's going on and how to accompany it.
