Play Therapy Works
If your child is struggling in any way, it’s natural to feel discouraged and even hopeless at times. It is time now for you to breathe a big sigh of relief, because there is such comfort and reassurance in knowing that the challenges you are concerned about CAN be overcome! Play Therapy is not only the most developmentally appropriate therapy for children under age 12, it is also the most enjoyable! Children play during their therapy sessions and love coming to their “special time that is just for them” each week.

What Parents are Saying...
“One of our children completed a play therapy program with Dr. Jen. We are so grateful that we gave play therapy a try. Our child benefited greatly from their sessions with Dr. Jen. We have seen a great improvement in their behavior across the board. Their teachers, our extend family, friends and coaches have all commented on the growth and positive change they’ve witnessed. We are very thankful for Dr. Jen. She was always kind and professional. I would recommend her to any family
looking to help their child reach their full potential.”
“Dr. Jen worked with my 8 year old son. He was becoming disruptive in school and the constant notes from teachers became concerning. I could tell he really felt out of control and hated being labeled as a "bad kid" in class. I reached out after trying everything I could think of. It's fascinating how play therapy can expose feelings you never knew your child was experiencing. Dr. Jen is truly gifted and wonderful with children. Now the negative notes from school have stopped and my son can now identify situations where he made the choice to control his emotions in a more positive way. I am so proud of him. I can not thank Dr. Jen enough for everything she has done for my son.”
“Both my daughter and myself benefited greatly from the sessions with Dr. Jen. It has truly made our relationship better. I am very thankful for Dr. Jen. She was always kind and professional. I would recommend her to any family looking to help their child reach their full potential whether it is in-person play therapy or the 10-week online parenting course.”
“Dr. Jen was a pleasure to work with and learn from! We are early on in our therapy sessions with our children and have already seen so much progress and it’s brought a lot of peace and calm to our house. The mindset of the course Dr. Jen walked us through has completely changed our approach to parenting. Thank you Dr. Jen!”
“We met with Dr. Jen with the intentions of putting our son in the child play therapy and left having decided we would start with the parenting classes first. It really was an eye opening experience! My husband and I both have learned a completely different way to parent our child, and a way that works best for BOTH of us! We now have a better understanding of our child as well as ourselves as parents! We highly HIGHLY recommend the parenting classes!”
“My husband and I just completed CPRT parenting course with Dr. Jen. We were able to complete the course virtually and meet with Dr. Jen virtually each week. We have learned so many great and life changing skills that have resulted in such a wonderful difference for our family. I highly recommend Dr. Jen and CPRT! I wish we had found her and done this years ago!”
“Our son was kicked out of multiple daycares at the age of 4 and was starting kindergarten in August. Dr. Jen made it such a positive place for my son; he loved going every week! Not only did she help him, but she also taught me and my husband how to reinforce everything he was learning in therapy. My son is now in first grade and hasn’t had a single bad day at school. I couldn’t be happier with Dr. Jen or my experience with play therapy. Thank you for everything you do!”
“My daughter and I had such a wonderful experience with Dr. Clay. The results were phenomenal, and I appreciate everything she’s done for my daughter. My daughter had a hard time telling someone her feelings. With Dr. Clay, she felt comfortable enough to express what she was feeling through play. Now my daughter can explain how she’s feeling and express it in a healthy way. I am very proud of my daughter’s progress in play therapy. Would recommend this to anyone!”
