There’s something powerful that happens when a child feels truly safe to be themselves.

Shawna creates a calm, steady space where children can explore big feelings through play, creativity, and connection — at their own pace and in their own way. Through attuned presence and gentle curiosity, she helps children feel understood while supporting growth in confidence, emotional regulation, and resilience.

Families often reach out to Shawna for support with anxiety, life transitions, and helping sensitive or slow-to-warm children feel more secure and connected.

If you’re wondering whether Shawna might be the right fit for your child, our intake team is here to help. 💛

Sometimes families come to therapy feeling stuck in cycles of big emotions, power struggles, or daily overwhelm. Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) offers a different path — one that strengthens connection while building real-life skills that work at home.

In PCIT, parents receive live coaching and practical tools to respond with clarity, confidence, and consistency. As connection deepens, many families notice calmer behavior, increased cooperation, and a stronger sense of safety and trust.

✨ We offer PCIT for toddlers through early childhood and beyond!

PCIT-Toddlers supports children as young as 12–24 months, helping caregivers build secure attachment, support early emotional regulation, and navigate challenging behaviors before patterns become entrenched. Few practices in our community offer this specialized training, and we’re honored to provide in-person services for families during these foundational years.

You are not expected to figure it all out alone. With support, practice, and compassionate guidance, meaningful change is possible.

If you’re wondering whether PCIT might be a good fit for your family, our intake team is here to help. 💛

✨ Meet Kim, our Occupational Therapist at Ensemble Therapy!

Occupational Therapy (OT) is all about helping children feel more comfortable and capable in their bodies, so they can fully participate in play, learning, and everyday life. Through movement, sensory support, and practical skill-building, Kim helps children build regulation, confidence, and independence in ways that feel safe, playful, and individualized.

What makes OT especially powerful at Ensemble is how it can work alongside play therapy. While play therapy supports emotional expression, connection, and inner world processing, OT supports the body, senses, and daily functioning. Together, they create a truly whole-child approach - caring for feelings and physical experiences at the same time.

Sometimes a child benefits most when their heart and body are both being supported, in coordinated, compassionate ways. That’s exactly what collaborative care at Ensemble looks like. 💛

🌼 Meet Kristen Rudd, one of our Graduate Student Interns offering accessible therapy at Ensemble!

In Kristen’s playroom, children are met with calm, curiosity, and gentle presence. She creates a space where feelings — big and small — are welcome, and where play becomes a language for healing, expression, and connection.

Kristen loves following a child’s lead, slowing down to notice what each child needs, and partnering with caregivers to support confidence, emotional safety, and secure relationships at home.

Whether your child is navigating anxiety, big transitions, or simply needs a warm space to be themselves, Kristen brings heart, attunement, and thoughtful care to every session. 💛

🌱 Play Therapy Week is a celebration of what we believe at our core: healing grows through safe relationships.

In play therapy, connection comes first. When children feel securely held—in relationship, in space, and in emotion—they gain the courage to explore, express, and grow. Through presence, attuned listening, and playful co-regulation, we help children make sense of big feelings, build trust, and strengthen their inner sense of safety.

At Ensemble Therapy, we see this as attachment in action: caregivers and therapists creating circles of care where children are deeply known, accepted, and supported. When connection is steady, play becomes a powerful language for healing, resilience, and joyful growth.

This week, we honor the power of play, the wisdom of children, and the relationships that make change possible. 💛🌈

When your relationship feels strained, it doesn’t stay contained to just the two of you. 💛

It can ripple into the way your home feels - how conflict shows up, how parenting feels, and how connected everyone feels day to day.

At Ensemble Therapy, Couples Therapy with Heather offers a supportive space to slow down, reconnect, and rebuild the foundation of your partnership—because when caregivers feel more aligned, the whole family system benefits.

Heather is Gottman-trained, a research-based approach that helps couples strengthen friendship and connection, navigate conflict with more skill, and build trust through small, meaningful shifts over time. Think: practical tools, deeper understanding, and a path back to feeling like a team.

If you’re feeling stuck in the same patterns—or simply wanting to strengthen your relationship before things feel heavier—we’re here. 🌿

01/23/2026

Caregiving isn’t just about responding to your chid — it’s about showing up regulated enough to respond with care. When caregivers understand their own nervous system responses, overwhelm becomes something you navigate with your child, not against them. 💛

Our "Caregiver's Guide to Regulation" resource gives practical insight into why regulation matters, how it shapes relationships, and simple ways to build steadiness into your day — not by doing more, but by understanding yourself and your child more clearly.

Whether you’re noticing big emotions, daily frustrations, or moments you wish felt easier, this resource is here to support your presence, patience, and connection.

We often hear about youth mental health in broad terms, but boys and young men face unique pressures that can shape how they connect, feel, and grow — from cultural norms about masculinity to expectations that discourage emotional expression. In our latest blog, The Boyhood Crisis: How We Can Support the Next Generation of Men, our therapist Sarah explores what’s contributing to this crisis of connection and how caregivers can support boys’ emotional development, deep friendships, and sense of self. 💛

This isn’t about blaming anyone — it’s about understanding the world our children are growing up in, and the meaningful ways we can show up for them. Because raising boys who know how to feel, connect, and care is a gift to all of us.

What if therapy looked like movement, courage, and trying something new—one hold at a time? 🧗‍♀️

Therapeutic Rock Climbing is a movement-based therapeutic experience that supports confidence, emotional regulation, and resilience through guided climbing challenges. With the support of a trained therapist, kids practice problem-solving, body awareness, and coping skills in real time—turning physical challenges into meaningful emotional growth.

This service can be especially supportive for children who benefit from learning through their bodies, enjoy active experiences, or need a different entry point into therapy.

Curious if Therapeutic Rock Climbing might be a good fit for your family?
Our intake team is here to help answer your questions. 🤍

Honoring the Whole Child

At Ensemble Therapy, our mission is to honor the whole child.

We uphold this belief by committing to these three core values:


  • We create a foundational, safe space for every child where they feel accepted, supported, encouraged to take risks, and better prepared to face external factors that they cannot control.

  • We understand children; we speak their language, which allows us to act as calm, patient, and trustworthy translators between every child and their parents.
