Play Therapy

Play Therapy provides for children what talk therapy provides for adults, the difference is children use play as their means of expression when processing difficult emotions and  experiences.

About Carly

I love to work with children (12 and under), and early teens (13-19), to provide a therapeutic process that draws forth each client's inner-strength and resilience.
