Kathryn Ziemer
Psychologist, PhD
We provide a safe space for children and teens express themselves and learn new skills like emotion management, self-soothing, self-regulation, problem-solving, and social skills. We also work with parents to support them in finding the best ways to support their child. Ultimately our goal is to help children and teens feel better and increase their self-efficacy so they can flourish.

All of our clinicians have been trained at the world renowned Center for Play Therapy. We utilize the only evidence-based form of play therapy called Child-Centered Play Therapy. The specific counseling skills we use in play therapy with children actually enhance our work with teens and adults as well, whether providing sandtray therapy, other expressive art activities, or simple talk therapy. When working with minors, we meet with their parents on a regular basis too in order to provide support to the parents and keep them involved in the therapeutic process.
