SERVICES OFFERED
PLAY BASED THERAPY
I offer play based therapy as a way to engage children and teens in the therapy process. I offer a safe place to talk about life and learn new coping skills. I integrate the use of toys, art, and games to connect with children and teens on their level.
Play is the natural language of children and is a metaphor, or symbolic expression, of what is going on in their lives. Play is to children what verbalization is to adults. Early childhood experts agree that play is essential and facilitates:
Expressive language
Communication skills
Emotional development
Social skills
Decision-making skills
Cognitive development
THERAPY FOR TEENS
Being a teenager can be difficult at times. Trying to navigate responsibilities at home, school and with friends can cause added stress. Teens today face many obstacles including anxiety, depression, school related problems, self esteem issues, getting along with peers, getting along with parents/siblings, gender identity and more. At Creative Counseling Services, I am here to help. I provide a safe, relaxed, and confidential space for teens to feel heard and understood.
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY FOR ADULTS
I enjoy working with adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, divorce support, parenting struggles, phobias, women's issues and life transitions. I provide a caring environment free of judgement where the client can feel seen and heard. I utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).
