Parenting is not an easy task and we all know "it takes a village." I am here to be a part of your village. My name is Alexa Nava, Licensed Professional Counselor, and soon-to-be Registered Play Therapist. I have worked with children in multiple settings and with different backgrounds, including behavior problems, ADHD, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship problems, school issues, and trauma. View 6 Photos Play is the language of children. Play therapy allows them to explore, express, and heal in a safe, supportive environment with my guidance. Child-Centered Play Therapy is a specialized therapy that utilizes play as the primary means of communication for young children. For older children, a person-centered approach allows them to heal at their own pace. My goal is to develop a therapeutic relationship that allows the young client to feel accepted, understood, and is given a safe space to process feelings in the moment. I invite you to reach out to me so that we can begin our work together in your child's healing journey.
