About Light Heart Counseling
At Light Heart Counseling, we specialize in providing play therapy for children who need new ways to cope with their emotions and navigate life's difficulties. Our approach combines the healing power of play with art and family support to help children express themselves and learn to accept themselves. We create a safe and nurturing environment to help children explore their feelings and families find healing.
Our principles
Child-Centered Approach
Empathy and Understanding
Collaborative Approach
We believe children are at the center of healing. Empowering children to lead in play builds self-esteem and the resilience to work through their challenges. We create a safe and supportive environment where children can lead the way.
We strive to understand each child's unique family, experiences, and emotions. We listen with empathy and provide unconditional support, helping children feel seen, heard, and understood.
We believe in working together with parents and caregivers to support the child's growth and development. We value open communication and collaboration to ensure the best outcomes for the child.
