Welcome to Creative Counseling, PLLC. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW); nationally accredited Registered Play Therapist (RPT); and a nationally certified AutPlay Therapy provider (for individuals with neurodiversity). I provide mental health and play therapy services for individuals from age 3 years old through adulthood, and family therapy. I have experience treating trauma/PTSD, depression, anxiety, other mental health needs, life adjustment and family stressors, and working with individuals with neurodivergent needs. I am an inclusive therapist for physical, cognitive, gender and relationship diversity.
Children and Teens are unique. Their brains are growing. This affects how they interpret and process information, and how they express their thoughts and emotions, which is often through behavior. That is why I completed specialized education, training, and national certification in play therapy, and obtained certification in autism/neurodiversity therapy.
You have taken a positive step. I understand that it can be difficult to reach out to someone to ask for support to address mental health needs, or life, family and relationship stressors. That is why I use a strength-based and person-centered approach to partner with you to listen to your concerns and develop therapy services to help you meet your needs.
