We are so excited to welcome Emily Lane to our practice!

Emily is currently enrolled in Grand View University's Mental Health Counseling program. Emily will be completing her internship hours with all of our clinicians to gain the most of her time. She will be under direct supervision of Nolan and Jessi.

"My role is to walk alongside you, offering tools and strategies that empower and support you. My goal is simple: to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard, valued, and respected."

As Emily immerses herself into our practice, we will be assigning her a small case load of clients. Emily is interested in working with teens and adults. Her services will be free of charge due to her status as a student. If you are interested in working with Emily please let us know on our website at www.theheartofplayllc.com

All we can say is-- THANK YOU!

This small but mighty practice who turned 1 in October has accomplished wonderful milestones. This recognition means so much to all of us here. There were fantastic providers nominated-- to be among them is recognition enough.

Thank you!
