​Play Therapy

Child play therapy is a way of being with the child that honors their unique developmental level and looks for ways of helping in the “language” of the child – play. Kelly is a Registered Play Therapist and often works from this framework to engage with children.  

​Individual Therapy with Family Focus

Through her experiences with young people Kelly has learned the importance of working with the whole family to enact lasting change.

This approach allows for open communication and time to evaluate progress and set goals for the future.
