💛 Our story • About ePlayTherapy

We turned screen time into healing time.

Certified play therapist in online session with child

ePlayTherapy.com was founded by child psychologists who believed: play is the language of children, and online can be just as magical as the playroom — if you design it right.

Since 2016 we've built proprietary Tele-Play Rooms: interactive whiteboards, puppet stages, sandtray simulators, feelings cards, Minecraft-style calm worlds and co-play games. No boring Zoom stare. Your child leans in, laughs, creates — and heals.

✅ Certified Registered Play Therapists (RPT™) + child psychologists
✅ Evidence-based: CCPT, Adlerian play, Theraplay®, CBT-play, EMDR for kids
✅ Every plan includes parent coaching + school toolkit
✅ Safe, HIPAA / GDPR compliant, recorded only with consent
✅ Evening & weekend slots, no waitlist, insurance superbills

— Priya, mom of Aanya, 6

★★★★★

“I was skeptical about online. Then I saw my son laughing, building a calm-world in the virtual sandtray while talking about bullying. Genius.”

— Marcus, dad of Leo, 9

★★★★★

“Parent coaching alone is worth it. Short videos, scripts for tantrums, teacher letter. We graduated in 14 weeks!”

❓ Parents ask

Everything you wonder, answered

Does online play therapy really work?

Yes! Research shows CCPT via telehealth has similar outcomes to in-person for anxiety, behavior and trauma when therapists use interactive play. Our engagement rate is 96% — kids ask to come back because it's genuinely fun.

What ages do you work with?

3–14 is our sweet spot. For 3–5 we do more parent-child Theraplay® coaching. For tweens we blend play + talk + game-based CBT.

What do we need at home?

Laptop/tablet, quiet corner, and our $29 toy kit (or DIY list: puppets, crayons, play-dough, mini figures, feelings cards). We mail it before session 1.

How long until we see changes?

Many families notice calmer routines in 3–4 weeks. Full goals typically 12–20 sessions. You'll get a visual progress tracker after assessment.

Are you licensed & safe?

All therapists are licensed in their states + RPT™ credentialed. HIPAA-compliant video, encrypted notes, no session recording without written consent.
