Making a splash in your daily life!
Contact UsJoyous OT is an attachment- and trauma-focused occupational therapy practice in Little Rock. We work with children, teens, and adults whose early relationships were interrupted — by trauma, by loss, by a start that was harder than it should have been.
Secure attachment is where emotional health begins, so that is where we begin too: with safety, with play, and with the relationships around the person, not just the person alone.
Sessions look like play more often than they look like therapy. That is on purpose. Play is how children do most of their most serious work, and it turns out adults are not so different.
