Sometimes what looks like “behavior” is really a child asking, “Can you help me feel safe, understood, and connected?”

Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is a powerful, play-based approach where we support you, the caregiver, in real time—helping you strengthen your relationship with your child while building tools to navigate big emotions and challenging moments with confidence.

PCIT is designed for young children (typically ages 2–7), and we also offer PCIT-Toddler for our littlest ones—meeting families early with developmentally attuned support that honors where your child is right now.

Through connection, consistency, and support, many families begin to see fewer power struggles, more cooperation, and a deeper sense of trust at home.

You don’t have to figure this out on your own—we’re here to be part of your village. 🤍

Caregiving is an act of love — and it can also feel heavy, isolating, and overwhelming.

The Caregiver Collective offers a supportive virtual space where caregivers can show up as humans first, not just in their roles. Together, participants build connection, process the emotional weight of caregiving, and explore sustainable ways to care for themselves while caring for others.

Whether you are parenting, supporting a partner, caring for an aging loved one, or navigating caregiving in another form, you deserve a space where you feel seen, heard, and understood.

✨ Open to adult caregivers in all seasons of caregiving
✨ Weekly virtual group beginning March 27
✨ Ongoing enrollment

You don’t have to carry it alone.

✨ Meet Annabelle

Annabelle brings warmth, curiosity, and playful creativity into the playroom. She creates a space where children can slow down, feel safe, and explore their inner world through imagination, storytelling, games, and creative expression.

In play therapy, children communicate in the language that comes most naturally to them — play. Annabelle follows each child’s lead while gently supporting emotional awareness, confidence, and resilience along the way.

Families often seek Annabelle’s support when their child is navigating big emotions, school stress, transitions, or challenges with confidence and connection.

At Ensemble Therapy, we believe healing happens through relationships, safety, and play — and Annabelle embodies this beautifully in her work with children and families.

Curious if Annabelle might be the right fit for your child?
Our intake team would love to help guide you through the matching process.

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. 💛🌈

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.
