Take a tour of our Child Therapy Clinic & the building we bought in Downtown Snohomish!

Children face challenges just like adults—anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, OCD, sensory sensitivities, trauma, and family changes. At our Child Therapy Clinic, we’ve created a cozy, home-like space designed for children to process, play, and heal through play therapy. In this video, you’ll learn:

• What happens inside a play therapy room

• How play therapy helps children express and process big emotions

• Why our clinic was designed like a warm, welcoming cottage

• How families are included in the therapy process through check-ins and parent involvement

Play therapy isn’t just for the child—it’s for the whole family. Parents are an important part of the journey, from intake to ongoing support.

Welcome to our new Child Therapy Clinic in Issaquah, Washington!

We designed this space with one goal in mind: to create an environment where children feel safe, welcomed, and free to explore, play, and heal.

Every detail—from the therapy rooms to the waiting area—was thoughtfully chosen to help children and families experience warmth, comfort, and hope from the moment they arrive.

For more than 50 years, the Fleming School of Music has served the Issaquah community by providing exceptional music education, helping generations of children and families discover the joy and discipline of music.

We're grateful to share this beautiful building with an organization that has invested so deeply in the flourishing of local families. As we got to know the Fleming School, it became clear that we share many of the same values: caring for children, strengthening families, and helping people grow into who they're created to be. We're excited about this partnership and the opportunity to serve our community together.

Looking for a child therapist who understands how kids naturally heal through play?

In this video, Rachel Hall, Clinical Mental Health Counselor at New Ground Counseling, shares her passion for helping children process difficult emotions through child-centered play therapy and animal-assisted therapy alongside her registered therapy dog, Bridget.

Rachel has a special heart for supporting children and families navigating:
*Grief and loss
*Bereavement
*Anxiety and emotional regulation
*Difficult life transitions
*Building emotional resilience
*Healthy attachment and connection

Many children struggle to put their feelings into words. Through play, art, imagination, and the calming presence of Bridget, children are given a safe environment where they can express themselves, regulate their emotions, and experience unconditional acceptance.

Bridget, Rachel's registered therapy dog, has spent years helping children feel comfortable in the therapy room. Whether she's quietly sitting beside a child, joining imaginative play, or simply offering a calming presence, Bridget helps many children feel safe enough to begin the healing process.

At New Ground Counseling, we believe every child deserves to feel:
• Safe
• Heard
• Valued
• Supported
• Unconditionally loved

If you're considering counseling for your child and wondering what play therapy is really like, this video offers a glimpse into Rachel's approach and what families can expect.
