Child and Family Play Therapy
MINDFUL CHILD THERAPY
If your child has always been a little spunkier, smarter, more spirited, more sensitive and more stubborn, you’re in the right place.
Who I Can Help
Highly Sensitive, Strong Willed, Highly Intelligent Children
Parents find my practice generally because they can identify their child as having at least two out of three of these traits.
My child is highly sensitive.
Parents come to see me because their child is deeply feeling. They are so sweet and loving but minor things make them frustrated and they tend to explode in anger when things don’t go their way.
My child is strong willed.
Parents come to see me because their child is willful. They are determined and persistent but they can’t tolerate not getting what they want. They test limits to the point that Mom or Dad explodes, creating a cycle of the family feeling like they are walking on eggshells.
My child is highly intelligent.
Parents come to see me because their child is bright. They are creative deep thinkers with big imaginations but because they’re brain works so quickly, it’s hard for them to tolerate when something doesn’t come easily.

FEELING LIKE YOU’VE TRIED EVERYTHING TO SUPPORT YOUR CHILD?
Child + Family Play Therapy
for children ages 2-10
In play family therapy, we work together in person at my play room in Elkins Park or virtually (for children ages 8+).
Together, I learn about your family and we work to discover what your child needs to thrive. Through play therapy, I work to understand what your child is experiencing and relay it directly to you. In our parent coaching sessions, you learn practical strategies for short term success and long term change.
On the Blog
Hi there! I’m Kellie.
I've been working with children in some capacity for 10+ years. Throughout my work, I have found that there are some children who are just a little spunkier, more spirited, sensitive or intense, and determined to push the limits. These are our highly sensitive, strong willed kiddos. Or, as I like to call them, sour patch kids.
My work is dedicated to helping you figure out your sour patch kid. Together, we learn the tools and strategies to help your little one and your thrive.
I’d love to stay connected to you.
Join me for an honest and heartfelt monthly newsletter to help you deepen your family bond and create harmony in your home.
