Nicole Gregson

As a committed Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist, I specialize in working with preschool and elementary age children and their families. Children do not always have the language they need to work through their struggles. If we listen and allow the toys to be their words and play to be their language, they tell us so much. Every child has a unique wonder and light inside of them, sometimes they just need help developing their tools to be their best self. Play is how children express themselves, practice and learn new tasks, and regulate emotions. Many children can benefit from play therapy. My educational background includes a Bachelor’s in Psychology and Master’s in Counseling Psychology. My primary focus during my Master’s at Alaska Pacific University was children and families, particularly play therapy. After graduation, I pursued specialized training in EMDR, fetal alcohol syndrome, autism, Filial Therapy, and play therapy. I received certification as a Registered Play Therapist and have continued to focus my career and training on families and children, birth through elementary school aged. I would love to have a conversation with you to further assess if I would be the right fit to help with your family’s needs. Visit my website at www.heartprintscounseling.com
