I will meet with your child one-on-one in a playroom stocked with many types of supplied and toys. Your child will be able to play with all of the toys in most of the ways that they would like to. At times, parts of the play may involve loud noises, thumps, or bangs (please do not worry about those and understand that that is part of the process of working through experiences in the playroom).

Yes! The majority of our play sessions are based in foundations from Synergetic Play Therapy, which is a fancy way of saying "nervous system co-regulation". Although I may not see certain behaviors that you do outside of the play sessions, we can discuss topics such as themes of play, your child's ability to work through big feelings, and helpful ways that we can work together as a team to provide support to your child.

You can speak with Hannah directly to find a way to explain play therapy to your child that feels right for you, but one example could be: "I met a lady named Hannah and she does this really cool thing where she creates special time for kids to play because kids need their own time to play to feel the best way that they can. She knows how to play with kids. When things feel hard she even knows how to play to help kids feel better. She loves kids and to play with kids and I just thought it would be amazing if you had your own time to play and full attention because you're worth it."

1. Contact me directly to schedule a free 10-15 minute phone call or book online (link to book is on the contact page).

2. After we speak and both feel we would be a good fit for another I will schedule a 60 minute intake appointment with yourself and any other parents involved (without your teen present) to discuss presenting concerns, the process of therapy, etc.

3. After the initial session, we will schedule your child's first session and I will meet with you throughout the treatment process to discuss your child's progress towards therapeutic goals.
