Play Therapist in Training
We know how important it is to find the best fit.
All therapists are trained on the best ways to target anxiety, anger, and stress management, and receive ongoing supervision from Kelsey to make sure they’re responding to your or your child’s clinical needs, the best way that they can. Our anxiety therapists are passionate about providing quality, individualized therapy for you. Research shows that clinical fit is even more important than the type of therapy you get, so we work closely to track and incorporate your feedback in to each and ever session.

Personalized Care & Interventions
We specialize in treating anxiety in kids, teens, and college students—however it shows up. Along with anxiety and anger management therapy, our clinicians tailor their approach to each client, offering additional services such as play therapy-informed interventions, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Trauma Therapy (including TF-CBT). We track the effectiveness of our interventions using Feedback Informed Treatment, ensuring we provide the best possible care for our kids, teens, college students, and their families.
