April is Child Abuse Awareness Month 💙

Every child deserves to feel safe, seen, and protected 🧸

Child abuse is not always visible. It can show up in changes in behavior, withdrawal, fearfulness, aggression, or difficulty trusting others. As adults—parents, caregivers, teachers, and community members—we all play a role in noticing, responding, and protecting 👀

Prevention starts with connection 🤝
When children feel heard, believed, and supported, healing becomes possible 🌱

What we can do:
• Listen without judgment 👂
• Take disclosures seriously 🗣️
• Teach safe boundaries and body autonomy 🚸
• Report concerns when needed 📞
• Support families and reduce isolation 🏡

To the children who have experienced harm—you are not alone, and what happened to you is not your fault 💙

And to the helpers, caregivers, and professionals—your presence matters more than you know ✨

💙 Healing happens in safe relationships.

Hi, my name is Avanlea Chaney and I am a Licensed Associate Counselor who is ready to assist and support children, adolescents, young adults, and families through in-person and telehealth.

I primarily focus on a person-centered approach and utilizing play therapy techniques within my sessions to aid with resilience and growth during crucial stages of development and to aid during times of change! I work with individuals who struggle with trauma, depression, anxiety, behavioral concerns, and self-esteem by teaching and identifying emotions while utilizing coping skills.

I am thankful to be a part of the team to make a difference in the lives of this community! I am seeing clients now so feel free to reach out to begin services.

"Hi, I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker dedicated to supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families on their healing journey.
I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, low self-esteem, behavioral concerns, and difficulty coping with life’s demands. I also support parents feeling overwhelmed or families struggling with communication and connection.

My approach is compassion, collaboration, and trauma-informed. I incorporate a variety of therapeutic methods tailored to meet each client's unique needs, including play therapy, art-based interventions, sand tray therapy, and attachment-focused techniques.

I understand how heavy life can feel when you're carrying emotional pain, and you don’t have to go through it alone. If you or your child are struggling, reach out, and let’s begin the healing journey together."
