Kelle Ann Arend

I love working with diverse families, children and adolescents using a holistic, empathetic, relational and play based approach. I strongly believe that we each possess inherent goodness, inner wisdom and the tools needed for growth throughout the lifespan. My role is to provide a safe, nurturing and supportive environment for individuals and families to re-engage with these strengths and use them to drive purpose and joy in their lives and relationships. I work together with families as a team, and utilize humor, play, and expressive activities (Theraplay, Sand Tray, Play Therapy, Art Therapy) to help process, reflect and rework traumas and stressors, and guide individuals and families towards healing, connection and shared joy. My specialty and passion is working with families who experience all sorts of challenges that arise within life. Expressive mediums are important to my work, and as such I often use a dedicated space for play therapy and sand tray to help kids and their families feel safe, comfortable, and eager to come for their sessions.
