Christy Donley,
LCPC, Supervisor, RPT, THERAPIST
Children learn, communicate, and grow through play. They thrive when adults provide them with safe, structured environments in which to explore their world.
My eclectic approach as a certified play therapist meets children where they are:
through play and working in natural environments or with child friendly-approaches such as walking in the park, cuddling with one of my specially trained therapy dogs, or learning to manage challenges by learning to swim.
My goal is to help children meet their challenges so they can them to expand their abilities to manage fear, anxiety, or trauma. Parents and other caregivers are a bit part of that process and I work to support families to help them expand their ability to support struggling youngsters through clear and compassionate communication and doable strategies.
