Founder & CEO
I help children learn to manage big and small emotions through therapeutic play.
I only see ten clients a year and I see them for about 30-45 minutes per day. When a child comes in for their appointment, we start with a feelings check-in. I let the child take the lead depending on what feelings we're exploring that day. I don't do talk therapy, I do play therapy. The child will play and we'll explore emotions through that. Then the parent(s) can come in and see their child play. While the child plays, I point out different cues and words that parents should pay attention to.
Here's the first step for everyone
I recommend volunteering in a field you think you're interested in. There are so many different specialties within the therapy and counseling field. Volunteering is a great way to explore the different areas and figure out which one is the best fit for you.
"We can't give you a chance. You don't have management experience. You're not ready for this."
