🎙 Featuring Shivvy

In this episode of Now Serving: A Side of Therapy, we sit down with Izzo clinician Shivvy to explore the power of play therapy and how children express emotions through art, creativity, and play.

Children don’t always communicate their experiences with words — instead, they show us through movement, drawing, storytelling, and imaginative play. Shivvy shares what it’s like to witness that process in real time, guiding children from tentative beginnings to moments of confidence, insight, and growth.

This conversation dives into:
• Child-focused, multi-modality therapeutic approaches
• Adapting play principles within a clinical setting
• How art and play help children process trauma and big emotions
• What therapists notice when healing starts to show up through creativity
• Why play therapy creates safety, connection, and emotional growth

Whether you’re a parent, clinician, or someone curious about how therapy looks for kids, this episode offers a meaningful look into how healing unfolds beyond traditional talk therapy.
