Therapist Overview
Need help for your child? Want to see them laugh and be themselves again? I am a Licensed Professional Counselor licensed to practice mental health counseling in the state of Louisiana. I am also a Registered Play Therapist trained in counseling children to help them feel safe and comfortable through the counseling process. What Is Play Therapy? “Play Therapy is based upon the fact that play is the child’s natural medium of self-expression. It is an opportunity which is given to the child to ‘play out’ his feelings and problems just as, in certain types of adult therapy, an individual ‘talks out’ his difficulties.” Virginia A. Play therapy helps children: •Become more responsible for behaviors and develop more successful strategies. • Develop new and creative solutions to problems. • Develop respect and acceptance of self and others. • Learn to experience and express emotion. •Cultivate empathy and respect for thoughts and feelings of others. •Learn new social skills I work with child and adolescents 4-17 needing help with anxiety; depression; oppositional defiant disorder; anger management; low self-esteem; ADHD; coping with death; adjustments to divorce, new baby, deployment; sibling rivalry; and school issues. I’d love to help your child and work with your family.
