Mission.
My mission at Lily Pad Child & Adolescent Counseling is to create a nurturing environment where children, adolescents, and families can grow, heal, and thrive. Guided by compassion and a commitment to building self-esteem and emotional resilience, I support young clients in discovering their unique strengths, developing essential life skills, and learning to express themselves with confidence. Through counseling, children and teens develop coping strategies, improve emotional regulation, and enhance their ability to understand the perspectives of others—skills that help them navigate daily challenges and build a foundation for a happy, healthy future. By working closely with parents and caregivers, I aim to strengthen family bonds and foster thriving relationships. Together, we’ll find calm waters and smooth sailing, one lily pad at a time.
Vision
My vision is to create a world where every child and adolescent feels empowered, valued, and equipped to navigate life’s challenges with resilience and self-assurance. I strive to be a trusted resource for families, supporting strong child-parent connections and promoting mental wellness in a nurturing, compassionate environment. Through play, emotional exploration, and family collaboration, I aim to inspire lasting change, helping young people and their families blossom into their fullest potential.
Our Services
Our therapy sessions are designed to help children work through emotional, behavioral, and social challenges in a comfortable and supportive setting.
Child Centered Play Therapy for Children
Whether your child is struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, behavioral or emotional issues, child-centered play therapy will help them express emotions, build resilience, and navigate their world with greater confidence. Through play, children gain the tools they need to process challenges, understand their feelings, and grow in a supportive and non-judgmental environment.
Teen Counseling
From peer pressure and academic stress to social anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, and family conflict, we provide a compassionate space for teens to explore their experiences, discover their strengths, and develop the tools they need to face life’s challenges with confidence and resilience.
Parenting Support & Training
We understand that parenting can be both rewarding and challenging. That’s why we offer parenting support and training to help you develop the skills and strategies needed to foster a positive, supportive environment for your child.
