FAQs

Our unique setting goes beyond a typical therapy office. Children receive neuroaffirming support while practicing essential skills in a natural, play-based environment. In addition to working one-on-one, they have opportunities to interact, explore, and grow in a space with other children.
Chelsea Forest Play affiliated therapists are highly trained and qualified professionals who bring deep expertise and a shared commitment to neuroaffirming practices. While each works independently within our space, they all believe in meeting children exactly where they are. See the current team above.
Each session is tailored to your child's needs and goals, naturally woven into play and exploration. Our therapists use our thoughtfully designed spaces and materials to make each session engaging and purposeful.
Insurance coverage varies by therapist as each works independently. We recommend checking with your insurance provider to determine out-of-network coverage.
This is something to discuss with your therapist as every child and family is unique! Your therapist will work with you to determine the right level of involvement—whether that's observing sessions, learning at-home strategies, or giving your child space to work independently. They'll help you understand how to best support your child's goals both in sessions and daily life.
