Suzanne K. Leter
Introduction
As a dedicated child and adolescent therapist with 25 years of experience—15 of which have been spent serving the community in Hawaii—I specialize in providing child-centered counseling for children and adolescents. My approach incorporates a diverse array of child-friendly techniques, including art therapy, play therapy, and sand tray therapy. These methods allow children to engage in a natural and expressive manner, utilizing the language of play to explore their creativity and enhance their learning capabilities. Play therapy is a recognized form of psychotherapy that harnesses the therapeutic power of play to assist children—and, in some cases, adults—in expressing themselves, processing emotions, and addressing psychological challenges. This approach involves a trained therapist who employs toys, games, and various play-related activities to facilitate communication and encourage the exploration of feelings, particularly when verbal expression may be difficult. Through this engaging and supportive environment, children can navigate their emotional landscapes and develop essential coping skills.
