Pawsitive Counseling Center - Dr. Thompson-Rottier, LPC

Pawsitive Counseling Center - Dr. Thompson-Rottier, LPC Providing counseling services to adults, children, and adolescents I am specifically trained to work with abused and neglected children.

Dr. Mary Rottier:
I am a licensed counselor and registered play therapist supervisor with over 20 years of clinical experience in a variety of different settings. I work with all ages, but specialize in the counseling needs of infants, preschoolers, and adolescents. My specialty areas include diagnosing and treating ADHD, anxiety, eating disorders, attachment, and trauma. As a counselor, I strive to create a safe environment conducive to producing change and growth. I see children as having the ability to use play as a means to communicate their needs, fears, and psychological issues. The value of play in child counseling is the cornerstone to my approach as well as the use of therapy dogs in psychotherapy. Kelly Jewell:
I am an avid gardener and enjoys working with clients in “dirt therapy.” I believe that the somatic, emotional, physical wellbeing is connected and is able to be therapeutic in processing trauma and other emotional hurts in all ages. I have experience working with people who struggle with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, trauma, and more. I love to encourage patients to work with their hands, whether it be painting, drawing, or working in the sand; I believe in the power of art in therapy. Christina Bitson:
I believe in the resilient spirit and innate ability of all individuals to live wholeheartedly. By providing individual and family counseling services to youth, I hope to empower each client to achieve self-compassion, connection, resiliency, and meaning. I am working towards becoming a Registered Play Therapist and someday hopes to integrate my passions for play, art, animals and the beauty of nature into my therapeutic practices.
