African-Centered Play Therapy (ACPT)

The foundation of African-Centered Play Therapy™ is community. ACPT is a therapeutic approach that harnesses the power of play while centering and honoring the Black experience of children, their families, and their community. Healing is not an isolated process—our work ensures that children feel supported in their growth through culturally affirming interventions that involve the people and spaces that shape them.

Parent & Family Involvement

Healing is not an individual experience for children. Parents are required to participate in:
✔️ Family Therapy Sessions (with the child)
✔️ One-on-One Parent Consultations

Your child’s growth depends on support beyond the therapy room.

We welcome families and communities into the process to foster lasting emotional wellness.

Who We Help

Our ACPT services support children and youth navigating:

  • Anxiety

  • Grief & Loss

  • Racial Trauma

  • Bullying & Peer Conflict

  • Emotional, Physical & Sexual Abuse

  • Identity & Self-Esteem Challenges

  • Life Transitions (moving, new school, family changes)

How is ACPT different from traditional play therapy?

  • Evaluates racial beliefs & ideologies in therapy

  • Eliminates harmful racial narratives

  • Fills the gaps in inclusion & representation

  • Centers community as a core part of healing

FAMILY THERAPY AND CONSULTATION

We recognize that a child's home, school, and community shape their emotional and social well-being. Our approach ensures parents and caregivers receive the tools, insight, and support needed to:

  • Understand & respond to their child's emotional needs

  • Strengthen communication & connection

  • Navigate challenges in home, school, or peer relationships

Every family is unique, so we tailor therapy sessions and consultations to fit your family’s needs and goals.
