Welcome to Unicorn Psychology
Understand your child’s world through play therapy.
We invite you to connect with your child on a deeper level by understanding their unique way of experiencing the world. While grown-ups rely on conversation to communicate, children express themselves through play.
Play therapy reaches children in their world.
