Sylvia Dai

Are you concerned about your child or struggling with how to support them? Here is the right place for you and your child! My name is Sylvia, and I am a Registered Play Therapist (RPT-USA and CPT) and a Registered Social Worker (RSW, MSW) in Vancouver. Over the past decade, I have been providing play therapy for children and preteens who have low self-esteem, behavioral issues, anxiety, selective mutism, depression, and other challenges in life such as living with trauma, divorce/separation, and violence/abuse.

I believe in a person-centered and humanistic counseling approach. I offer individual Child-Centered Play Therapy and group play therapy for children aged 3-10 who are experiencing social, emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges. Child-Centered Play Therapy can let children be truly themselves, process their living experiences and feelings through play. I also provide parent consultations and parenting groups to support parents or caregivers, as I highly value the parents’ wisdom in parenting and the collaborative relationship with them. I trust that every family can cultivate their resilience through developing secure and healthy attachments.

As the founder of Starry Wonderland Play Therapy, my mission is to provide a safe and nurturing space for children and their families where they are heard, understood, and empowered during their journeys. I am here, I hear you, I understand and I care.
