Nicknames aren’t for adults to control.
They’re how children connect.

I used to be “T”… and now my niece calls me “Chong.”
Was it what I expected? Nope.
Is it meaningful? Absolutely.

Kids don’t give nicknames for no reason.
They give them because they feel safe, playful, and connected.
When we let go of expectations, we make room for real relationship.

Connection doesn’t have to sound the way we imagined it would.

Connection doesn’t always look loud or busy.
Sometimes it looks like slowing down, following curiosity, and letting a child choose what speaks to them.

A weekend library visit can be a powerful way to connect—
to your child, to yourself, and to the calm that comes from shared presence.
No pressure. No agenda. Just being together.

Connection doesn’t always look like hugs, kisses, or physical affection.
Kids show connection in their own ways—and sometimes that means saying no.

When a child says no to hugs, kisses, or tickles, they’re not rejecting you—they’re practicing body autonomy and consent. Even with parents. Even with people they love. And yes, it can feel hard or personal—but it’s actually a powerful skill we want them to learn early: my body, my choice.

Honoring a child’s “no” builds trust, confidence, and safety—and teaches them that their voice matters. 💛

It’s International Play Therapy Week 🌍🧸 so I wanted to invite you inside my play therapy office.
This space is intentionally designed to help children feel safe, seen, and supported as they connect to themselves through play. Every corner, toy, and moment here is about regulation, expression, and healing—without needing the “right” words. 💛

Welcome to a place where play becomes the language.

Connection starts here 💗

When we let children be exactly who they are — glitter, imagination, confidence, curiosity and all — we’re teaching them the most powerful message: you are safe to be you. Connection to our child begins with connection to self.

When we slow down, notice, and delight in who they are (not who we think they should be), we build trust, emotional safety, and a secure sense of self that lasts far beyond childhood.

Authenticity isn’t something we teach with words — it’s something we protect through presence 🤍

✨ What’s one way you let your child fully be themselves today?

✨ February Theme: Connection ✨

This month, we’re slowing down and leaning into what matters most—connection.
Connection to yourself… and even more intentionally, connection to the children in your life.

It’s found in the quiet moments.
The shared smiles.
The eye contact, the closeness, the “I see you, I’m here” moments that build safety and trust.

In February, we’ll be focusing on nurturing relationships through presence, play, and attunement—because children don’t need perfection, they need connection. 💛

Playroom restock = small tools, BIG regulation 💛

Bringing back two favorites that always earn their spot in the playroom:
🐒 Monkey Ring — a powerful sensory tool for releasing anger, building strength, and giving kids (and teens) the deep input their bodies are craving.
💎 Diamond Dots — perfect for focus, patience, and that yes-I-did-it sense of accomplishment that builds confidence from the inside out.

Sometimes it’s not about adding new things—it’s about restocking what we know truly supports regulation, expression, and growth through play.

I hope one day you see yourself the way she does—proud, playful, and exactly enough just as you are. 💗That’s the goal. ...

The Beginning

Breathing Through Counseling & Wellness Services was created out of a desire to work individually with both children and adolescents, in an attempt to assist them in overcoming the adverse effects of trauma. Throughout my career, working with children in various capacities, I have seen the effects that unresolved trauma can have the individual, their families. and communities. These effects can be minimized when trauma survivors receive treatment tailored to meet their specific needs. Breathing Through Counseling & Wellness Services strives to be a safe place, where the therapist and client work together to create a specialized treatment plan based on the individual’s needs. It is my hope is that this will not just be the start of a business but the beginning of much healing.
