Acorn has an amazing team! But we all do so many things: play therapy, adolescent therapy, family based interventions, supervised visits, EMDR, Safe and Sound Protocol... we thought you might need a reminder!

Christy focuses on children and families in crisis using play therapy and EMDR to assist even in court involved situations. She also loves to train other professionals and reserves 5 hours a week for consultation. You can even get on demand, online parenting classes from this 25+ year veteran play therapist.

Pam focuses on getting as many people in a family into the room at the same time as she can! Her skill with children, families and educators is barr none! She also does assessments for exective functioning and ADHD.

MaryAnn has decades of experience as a parent facilitator and uses this for clients and to assist law firms in working with their clients. She provides a guiding compass for teamwork in family law for clients and lawyers.

Cheri, with decades experience with children and teens, brings her no nonsense style to child, teen and adult counseling. Trained in EMDR, experienced with CASA, she provides excellent care at a low, $100 cost.

Tammi and Brooke create calm, consistent contact with families in crisis through our supervised visitation program. Taking notes, keeping boundaries, these ladies provide a needed respite in a present storm. They also work well with other professionals to help these families stabilize.

Selective mutism can be very embarrassing, frustrating and confusing for parents. Children who can't stop talking at home become extremely quiet or silent at school or in other social situations. Here is a great article to help explain the disorder.

While it is very uncommon in the regular population, in Acorn's offices, it is well known/understood. Play therapy is extremely effective as an intervention as it provides help for anxiety and experience with a safe calm person in an age appropriate intervention.

Selective mutism is an anxiety disorder that can make speaking difficult. But treatment can help you be heard again.
