We believe meaningful change begins with understanding—and we’re here to walk alongside you as you uncover what’s driving the behaviors or emotional challenges you’re seeing.

Why Play Therapy?

Kids don’t always have the words to explain what they’re feeling—but that doesn’t mean they aren’t experiencing big emotions. 

Play therapy gives children a safe, natural way to express themselves, process challenges, and begin to heal. With the support of a trained therapist, play becomes the language for working through emotions like anxiety, grief, anger, and confusion.

Here are just a few of the ways play therapy can help:

  • Healthier emotional expression
  • More confidence and self-esteem
  • Better coping and calming skills
  • Less anxiety and fear
  • Healing from stress or trauma
  • Stronger communication skills
  • Improved friendships and social skills
  • Easier transitions and changes
  • Fewer outbursts and meltdowns
  • Better problem-solving
  • Stronger parent-child connection
  • Greater emotional resilience

Every child’s journey is different—but through play, they don’t have to walk it alone.

Why Parent Coaching & Therapy?

Parenting is hard—and even with all the love in the world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, unsure, or triggered by your own past. Sometimes, we carry stress and patterns into parenting without even realizing it.

Parent coaching and therapy give you a safe space to pause, reflect, and feel supported. It’s not about being perfect—it’s about growing, healing, and finding new ways to connect with your child.

Here's how it can help:

  • Feel more confident in your parenting
  • Stay calmer in tough moments
  • Better understand your child’s behavior
  • Learn tools that actually work
  • Strengthen your bond with your child
  • Break old cycles that no longer serve you
  • Get to know yourself more deeply
  • Heal from your own childhood experiences
  • Parent with more intention and less guilt
  • Improve your family’s overall connection
  • Feel supported and less alone

You don’t have to figure it all out on your own—we’re here to walk with you.

What our clients have to say

“I cannot speak highly enough of Kelly Miller and the rest of the staff of Play Therapy Inc. Both my [children] have enjoyed, and benefited greatly from their therapy sessions with Kelly over the last year. Their appointments at Play Therapy have become a highlight of their week, and something they look forward to immensely. I have seen firsthand the changes in my [children], and will forever be grateful.” 

- Parent

“To say that I am thankful for Kelly Miller and Play Therapy is an understatement. My [child] has been seeing Kelly for the past few years and the growth he has experienced is tremendous. She has supported both my [child] and me as we have navigated through grief and helped us to develop skills and tools to cope with life’s many unexpected circumstances.”

- Parent

“I’m writing regarding Matt Canale. He worked with my [child] around supporting [my child] during a time when a lot of change was happening at home. He helped [my child] to learn how to regulate emotions, express needs, and have a safe place to process what [my child] was experiencing. Matt worked with [my child] through age-appropriate activities, communicated progress to me weekly, and I saw a drastic improvement in the way [my child] was able to understand and express emotions in a healthy way. [My child] became very connected to Matt, which is a testament to his loving supportive and safe space that he provided. We worked with several therapists but never before had seen such a connection as [my child] had with Matt. It has been over a year and [my child] still uses the skills that he taught and remembers Matt very fondly. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants real support for their children.” 

- Parent

“Hi Matt! We just wanted to let you know that since our last session with you, [my child] has been doing remarkably well!!! He has been going to school in person and he seems to be just fine. All those feelings of shame […] ….all those feelings are gone.

We’re so proud of him and honestly can’t believe how well he’s doing. 2 years ago was complete agony and we never thought life would ever go back to normal for him. You have been so amazing, an angel sent from God, to help him heal and love himself again.”

- Parent
