Hannah Edwardson, child and teen THERAPIST IN raleigh, NC
I believe your child has better days ahead.
Are you looking for a place where you and your child can learn ways to create a deeper connection and understanding of one another?
You’re in the right place.
Our mission is to create a warm, compassionate environment where our clients can feel seen, heard, and valued. We strive to help children, teens, and their families feel more connected through the use of the therapeutic powers of play and attachment-based therapeutic approaches. Carolina Counseling and Play Therapy, PLLC is here to support you/your child/your family on your journey towards healing.
I'm Hannah and I help children and teens (ages 5-18) and their parents/caregivers feel more connected through the therapeutic powers of play. Regardless of the different events that bring clients into therapy, every single family I work with has a major overarching goal of learning more about ways to support one another and being able to feel more confident in communicating their needs/emotions among their family household.
I help my clients by providing children, teens, and adults with the strategies that allow them to gain more clarity and confidence over their emotions through their healing process.
I wholeheartedly believe that not all approaches or tools will be helpful for every person. This is a main reason why I developed my own practice that takes an integrative approach to allow for me to tailor my therapy sessions to each individual client's needs. Additionally, I am able to provide you with tools that you feel align well with your core values and different styles of parenting.
If you are looking for an accepting and affirming space for your child/teen to begin processing some of their "big feelings and behaviors", I would be honored to speak with you for a free consultation to support you in beginning that process.
