Careers.

Join our team at Lily Pad Child & Adolescent Counseling

Our mission.

At Lily Pad, we believe healing begins with love. Through play therapy and genuine connection, our mission is to help children feel seen, safe, and accepted—so they can build confidence, cope with life’s challenges, and grow into who they’re meant to be.

Our vision.

Our vision is a world where every child knows their emotions are valid, their mistakes don’t define them, and their voice is always heard. A world where love and acceptance give them the strength to thrive, no matter what life brings.

Our values.

At Lily Pad, our values guide everything we do—from the way we show up for kids and families, to how we support one another as a team. We believe in:

Unconditional Love

Every child is worthy of love, exactly as they are. We lead with compassion, not correction, and welcome each child with open arms and open hearts.

Support

We’re here to hold space for big feelings and hard moments. For children, for parents, and for each other—support is something we give freely and consistently.

Authenticity

Kids are honest, so we are too. We show up as real people, not perfect ones. We model vulnerability, courage, and kindness in every session and interaction.

Transparency

Whether we’re talking to a 5-year-old or a parent, we believe in honesty, clarity, and being upfront. No secrets, no judgment—just open conversations and mutual respect.

Open-Mindedness

We welcome all families, all emotions, and all stories with curiosity and care. We remain open to new perspectives, new solutions, and the unique needs of each child.

Collaboration

Healing is a team effort. We partner with parents, empower caregivers, and lean on one another when we need support—because no one is meant to do this work alone.

Child-Centered Care

Every decision, every intervention, and every carefully selected toy is centered around what’s best for the child. We follow their lead and honor their voice.
