Play Therapy with "Dr. Jen"- Counseling for Young Kids

"Play therapy with Dr. Jen has been a blessing for my son and to me as a parent. My son looked forward to his special playtime with Dr. Jen and played through his struggles. He’s noticeably more in control of his feelings and shows more independence amongst improvement in other things. Dr. Jen meets with you throughout the sessions giving valuable insight and feedback on progress and gives advice on how to navigate your child’s behavior. I’m a better parent for going through this process with my son- thanks to Dr. Jen. I recommend Dr. Jen wholeheartedly."

"Dr Jen is AMAZING! If you trust the process it will work! My son is now back to the boy he should be with no more anxiety worries. He is thriving both at home and in school and we have Dr Jen to thank!"

"My husband and I were at a low point with our then five year old. Parenting methods that we used for our previous child were not effective and almost seemed to make things worse. How we were handling discipline did not feel good. We decided to try play therapy and I am so glad we did! During the 20 sessions not only did my son build confidence in himself and his ability to express his emotions verbally versus physically, but, we also learned so much as parents. We learned how to effectively communicate with our son. I encourage parents to listen to how Dr. Jen talks and interacts with your child. Really take advantage of her resources that she provides This is not only a rehabilitation for your child but for YOU as well. In addition to the sessions, I texted Dr. Jen on occasion with specific situations that I needed help navigating. She works tirelessly and is always willing to help. Her compassion and knowledge tremendous. We went from having a child in kindergarten that was getting notes sent home multiple times throughout the week and having “five-alarm” tantrums, and unpleasant interactions with the family to a very pleasant first grader that is excelling at school, and able to communicate his feelings with words. There is an occasional “one-alarm” tantrum, but we fully this expect as he is still a kid :-) I highly recommend Dr. Jen. And again, I encourage parents (and other care givers, teachers included) to participate in the process!"

"My daughter showed tremendous progress in her time at play therapy and absolutely loves Dr. Jen. Dr. Jen did an incredible job as an advocate for our daughter while she was struggling with challenging behaviors at her afterschool program. I highly recommend play therapy with Dr. Jen a thousand times over!"

"One of our children completed a play therapy program with Dr. Jen. At first, we didn’t exactly buy into the idea of play therapy, but we are so grateful that we have it a try. Our child benefited greatly from their sessions with Dr. Jen. We have seen a great improvement in their behavior across the board. Their teachers, our extend family, friends and coaches have all commented on the growth and positive change they’ve witnessed. We are very thankful for Dr. Jen. She was always kind and professional. I would recommend her to any family looking to help their child reach their full potential."
