Office Tour

Welcome to my office! Can you imagine coming in for your first session? Not pictured is the sound of rain, the ambiance of the rock lamp + lava lamp, and the room lit with a warm glow as we chat or play. Morning sessions are a delight as rainbows dance across the room.

Which leads to a shortage of qualified professionals within the field, and this is exactly what you see in our area. There are no other Registered Play Therapists in Garfield County and possibly 1 in Pikin County. This leads children and parents really no options for therapy besides basic "talk therapy" or possibly with the inclusion of a few toys and games, or to drive to Grand Junction and/or Denver for a Play Therapist.
