Heather Doherty
Hello and welcome! I’m Heather, a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play TherapistTM specializing in Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT). With 15 years of experience in this field, I understand the unique challenges these young individuals face, such as trauma, instability, and emotional struggles.
CCPT is an evidence-based approach that helps children process emotions and trauma through play, a natural form of expression and our first language. This approach has been shown to reduce behavioral issues and improve emotional regulation, especially for children in foster care or state custody. By providing a safe, non-judgmental space, I support our boys in developing healthier coping strategies and building a foundation for emotional growth.
