What Is Play Therapy?
Play therapy is a specialized form of counseling that uses play—such as toys, games, art, music or storytelling to help children express emotions, process experiences and develop coping skills in a safe, supportive environment.
Tailored to a child's developmental level, it allows them to communicate feelings they may not yet have the words for, which encourages emotional regulation, problem-solving and resilience.
Through guided play with a trained therapist, children can work through challenges like anxiety, trauma or behavioral issues, gaining confidence and learning healthier ways to navigate their world.
Emilee Greenman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Emilee is a mental health therapist who is passionate about supporting families through all the ups and downs of life and everything in between. She believes healing and growth happen when we feel safe enough to show up as our full, authentic selves, and that play, imagination and laughter can help us grow, even during hard times.
She earned her undergraduate degree at Oakland University and her Masters degree from Michigan State University, but she credits the last six years working in a variety of settings with kids, teens and families where she truly feels she has grown into the therapist she is today. Emilee is a dedicated member of the Michigan Association for Play Therapy and is currently pursuing advanced, doctoral-level supervision in play therapy. She is committed to continually deepening her clinical skills and gaining fresh perspectives to ensure she is providing thoughtful, effective care to the children and families she serves.
Emilee is playful to the core which, helps her build trust with kids and access a level of creativity, problem-solving and healing in ways that rigid structures often cannot.
Outside the therapy room, you will find her with her sweet family, enjoying life on the lake or soaking up time with friends.
