RELOCATING TO PULLMAN, WA AROUND SUMMER 2023. Being either a parent or a youth is hard work at the best of times. Then there are the challenging days: the days both youth and their parents don't feel like they are good enough, everything feels scarier than it used to feel, and they can't seem to find their joy. During the hard times, it is easy to forget that you have strengths that have gotten you through the tough patches, and they can get you through them again. Having someone who can value your uniqueness and partner with you when brainstorming and implementing solutions can be both affirming and healing.

** CURRENTLY FULL & NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. ** Realizing that you are different from your peers can feel so isolating and confusing. You may spend time wondering why you're not connecting with others and worrying about how you'll fit in or express yourself. Falling or staying asleep, trying new things, and focusing might be difficult. You may be experiencing a lack of confidence and may not always feel comfortable being yourself. There might be things you want to say or show others but you're not sure how. When you try to express yourself, you may be lashing out aggressively or freezing up entirely.

Play Therapy
Generally for children ages 3 to 11, play therapy is a form of counseling that relies on play to help therapists communicate with children and understand their mental health. Because children develop cognitive skills before language skills, play is an effective way to understand a child. The therapist may observe a child playing with toys--such as playhouses and dolls--to understand the child's behavior and identify issues.
