What is Play Therapy?Play Therapy is fun for the client but it's also extremely effective for bringing about change. The area of the brain responsible for verbalizing inner struggles and applying abstract principles is not developed until late adolescence. This is why talking through issues is typically not the most effective form of help for children. For most children their natural form of communication and method of learning new skills is playing!

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees. Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
