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

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.

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