"Play is the highest expression of human development in childhood, for it alone is the free expression of what is in a child's soul"

I utilize a variety of counseling methods including play therapy, Creative Arts Therapy, Theraplay, EMDR, Sand Tray Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help in the change process.

Meet Paula Shelner    

As a Registered Play Therapist, I specialize in children ages 4-12 years. I engage them with both therapeutic play, creative arts interventions and therapeutic games. When children and young adolescents come to therapy they need to feel safe and enjoy the experience while learning skills to improve how they feel. When families come to therapy, they look for guidance from an experienced therapist who will join with their family and help them navigate through their family issues. Depression, anxiety, trauma, anger, divorce, adoption and life adjustments are all issues that lead many children and families to seek specialized treatment.
