I am the owner/provider at Creative Counseling, PLLC. I am a licensed Clinical Social Work therapist and a nationally Registered Play Therapist (tm). I work with children, youth and adults to address adjustment issues; relationship, family and work stressors; acute stress/traumatic incidents; anxiety symptoms; depression symptoms; behavioral issues and complex mental health needs. I use therapy approaches tailored to your needs because some individuals are comfortable talking about their concerns in detail and some are not. Together we discuss treatment options and decide which approaches may work best for you or your child.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW); nationally Registered Play Therapist (RPT(tm); nationally certified AutPlay Therapist (for adults, youth and children with neurodiversity including Autism, ADHD, and Developmental/Cognitive needs), TheraPlay-Level 1 certified, trained in trauma, and a Master level Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) provider.
I know it can be difficult to reach out to someone to ask questions or seek help, so I offer a free brief consultation by phone to answer questions you have about therapy services provided, how I partner with you and help you determine if I am the right fit for you or your child.
