About

Welcome to Carolina Counseling and Play Therapy!

We're Hannah and Kristina and we 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 family we work with has a major overarching goal of feeling more aware and receptive to each other's needs and being able to feel more confident in communicating their needs/emotions among their family household. ​ We help our 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. We wholeheartedly believe that not all approaches or tools will be helpful for every person. This is a main reason why Hannah developed her own practice that takes an integrative approach to allow for us to tailor our therapy sessions to each individual client's needs. Additionally, we are 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", we would be honored to speak with you for a free phone consultation to support you in beginning that process. Please contact us to schedule a time that works best with your schedule.
