Why Play and Purpose?
Play and Purpose is a private, therapist-owned company supporting children and teens in the greater Phoenix area. We are proud to provide an ND-affirming, child-led, strengths-based approach to all treatments. Research supports the idea that children tend to perform better in their own natural environments. That's why we offer 1:1, individualized treatment in a comfortable and convenient manner in home, school, and community locations.
It is an honor to be welcomed into your homes, and we are grateful for the trust you place in us to help your children. If we haven't met yet, we can't wait to get started!
