What Wasn’t Working: Missing the Full Potential of Digital Tools

I love doing therapy in person and have always had success engaging my clients with  my favourite games, stories, drawing exercises, and pretend play. However, I noticed that many of my clients were drawn to technology, whether it was playing games, journaling or creating digital art. I wondered, instead of seeing screens as distractions, what if I could use them as a tool for deeper engagement and connection? What if digital tools could help my clients express themselves?

A New Approach with PlaySpace: Bringing Digital Tools In-Person to  the Therapy Room

That’s when I started using PlaySpace’s digital tools, like the 3D Dollhouse,  Sand Tray, and AI Storybook Builder in my in-person sessions. I was amazed at how quickly they became a natural part of my work and increased engagement with my clients. Now, I can:

  • PlaySpace’s digital tools, like the 3D Dollhouse and Sand Tray, help clients express their feelings creatively in ways traditional materials can’t, making them feel more in control

  • The AI Storybook Builder lets clients create or co-create stories from scratch, providing a fun, creative way to explore emotions and share experiences.

  • Using digital tools in therapy makes sessions more engaging and familiar, as many kids and teens are already comfortable with technology.

The Difference:

More Ways to Connect

More Ways to Express

Using PlaySpace in my in-person sessions has changed the way I help kids express themselves. With PlaySpace, I can offer more ways for kids to communicate. Whether they use the digital dollhouse to talk about family or the sandtray to show their emotions, they get to choose what works best for them.

Technology isn’t a barrier, it’s a tool that helps make therapy more creative, flexible, and engaging.
