Play therapy may look like play, but there’s so much meaningful work happening beneath the surface.

At Kindred, we’re committed to ongoing education and specialized training focused on children and teens. Many of our therapists are Registered Play Therapists or Play Therapists in Training, and all bring a deep understanding of child development to their work.

If you’ve ever wondered what sets play therapy apart from everyday play, this is a great place to start. 💛✨

Kindred’s own Ashlyn, Callie, & Jen spent the morning at Gentry Middle School’s Career Fair talking all things counseling and psychology. 💛

We had such a great time sharing what we do, answering big questions, and hopefully inspiring a few future helpers along the way.

September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month

At Kindred Collective, we hold space for both:
🌙 those who are struggling, and
🌱 those who are supporting someone they love

You don’t have to carry this alone.
If you’re hurting, please know: support is here. If you’re walking alongside someone, your presence matters more than you know.

📞 Call or text 988 to connect with the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline (24/7 support)
🌱 We’re here too - for therapy supports and community.

Together, we can break the silence and remind one another: you are not alone.

Together we can hold hard things.
