When your child is hurting, it takes over everything. You see the tantrums, the shutdowns, the anxiety, and you just want to help, but nothing seems to work. I offer a warm, creative space where kids can play, express themselves, and start to feel better. Therapy can give them the tools to grow and give you the relief of knowing they are supported. My name is Sara Powers, LMFT (lic. 153214), founder of Power of Play: Child Centered Therapy. Let’s work together to help your child feel more like themself again!
I specialize in non-directive, child-centered play therapy, where kids lead the way in their healing through play, art, and connection. I involve parents through regular parenting support sessions to provide guidance and to strengthen relationships at home. Together, we work toward helping your child feel more understood, confident, and connected.
Watching your child struggle can feel overwhelming and isolating. You don’t have to figure it out alone. I'm here to support your child’s growth and help your family feel more connected. Reach out when you're ready.
