Our Staff
Arbara Rogers, MA, LMHC, RPT™
(Founder, Therapist)
In my approach to child therapy, I bring a distinctive perspective rooted in the intersection of play therapy, child development, and early relational health. With a deep understanding of how children navigate their world through play and exploration, I integrate evidence-based techniques from play therapy into my practice. Moreover, my extensive study and expertise in child development allow me to tailor interventions that are both developmentally appropriate and effective. Recognizing the fundamental importance of early relational health in shaping a child's emotional well-being, I prioritize building strong therapeutic alliances with both the child and their caregivers. By combining these elements, I strive to create a nurturing and empowering environment where children can flourish and reach their full potential.
