💚🌿 We loved welcoming Mountain West Small Business Finance to PLAE this morning, it was fun to have Danielle Lower, Vice President of Community & Economic Development, who joined us with her absolutely darling grandchild to explore our space, with their camera crew and see a little more about all that we do here.

It was fun reflecting on how we grew in our time in their pitch workshops. We learned so much, felt genuinely invested in, and continue to carry those lessons forward in meaningful ways.

A portion of the grant we received from has allowed us to invest directly back into our clinicians and our community.

Because of this support, all of our licensed providers will be participating in a two-part training this upcoming Friday, focused on:
• Su***de Prevention
• Navigating Legal & Ethical Issues

Trainings like these strengthen the entire ecosystem of care. When clinicians are well-supported and deeply informed, that care extends outward—touching children, teens, families, schools, and the broader systems our clients move through every day.

This kind of investment allows us to show up more thoughtfully, more safely, and with greater depth—especially for the children, adolescents and teenagers we are honored to welcome to PLAE.

This is the kind of widespread, community-centered impact that truly elevates mental health care, and we are so grateful 💚🌿

Stay tuned for some fun clips and moments from this morning!

Self-Acceptance Sound Bath for All Ages

With the month often centered around love approaching, we invite kids and teens to pause and turn some of that care inward. This Self-Acceptance Sound Bath is a warm, calming experience designed to help young people slow down, relax, and connect with themselves in a meaningful and supportive way.

Facilitated by Melanie D. Davis, LCMHC, alongside Edna Ramos, Sound Bowl Instrument Facilitator, this gentle session uses soothing sound, guided relaxation, and intentional rest to support emotional regulation, mindfulness, and self-acceptance. Participants will be encouraged to notice their thoughts and feelings without judgment and to practice kindness toward themselves, just as they are.

This all-ages event is especially fitting during a season focused on self-love, offering tools that help build self-awareness, inner calm, and emotional care that can be carried beyond the session and into everyday life.

Each guest will receive a Valentine gift as a thoughtful reminder to continue practicing self-love, self-acceptance, and caring for their emotional well-being.

Sensory & Self-Regulation Play: Cozy Crafts for Home

Looking for a fun, creative way to connect with your littles in the last days of winter break? Here’s one we loved revisiting and sharing again together—Kool-Aid Play-Doh 🌈

This was a childhood favorite I used to make with my mom (very 80s style 💫). She later made it with my own children when they were little, and this winter break we had so much fun making it again altogether.

Why we love it:
• Bright colors + fruity scents
• Simple, affordable ingredients
• Kid-friendly and customizable
• A beautiful sensory and regulation activity

Our simple recipe:
• 2½ cups flour
• ½ cup salt
• 3 Kool-Aid packets
• 2 cups boiling water (adult step)
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil

How to make it:
Mix flour, salt, and Kool-Aid in a large bowl. Stir in oil and slowly add boiling water while mixing. Knead dough until smooth.

💚 Why it matters:
Sensory play supports self-regulation and emotional expression. The warmth of the Play-Doh as it comes together is deeply comforting and soothing, helping kids feel grounded while creating a beautiful moment of connection as they bring all the pieces together.

Simple. Sensory. Meaningful. 🌿💚

Follow-up from yesterday 💚

Sharing our little homemade Celebration Cake was such a joy. Hearing what everyone felt proud of—and naming their accomplishments—was powerful. Our cake could barely hold all the reflections. Every step became an opportunity to connect, slow down, and bring it all together.

If you made a Celebration Cake, we would love to see it ✨

✨ Ways to Celebrate Our Wins

A confidence-building winter break activity for kids

As the new year begins, we often rush into goals and resolutions. Taking time to reflect on the year behind us is just as important—especially for children.

The 2025 Celebration Cake helps kids recognize their growth, resilience, and accomplishments—big and small.

How it works:
• Make and decorate a cake 🍰 together
(Cupcakes, brownies, or even fruit work too 🌿)
• Everyone reflects on something they’re proud of from 2025
• Swipe left to see the template we created (print if you’d like)
• Write your reflection, tape it to a skewer so it stands tall
• Share it out loud and place it into the cake

The result:
A cake filled with visible reminders of effort, growth, resilience, and love 💚

Why this matters:
Celebrating wins builds self-esteem, emotional awareness, and connection. Helping children notice what they’ve done well is just as meaningful as setting goals for what’s next.

We’ll be sharing our 2025 Celebration Cake tomorrow—but wanted to offer this now in case you’d like to create one with your little ones.

✨ Ways to Celebrate Our Wins: A Confidence-Building Winter Break Activity for Kids ✨

As the new year begins, we often rush into goals and resolutions. But taking time to reflect on the year that’s ending is just as important—especially for children.

The 2025 Celebration Cake is a fun, meaningful way to help kids recognize their strengths, growth, and accomplishments—big and small.

How it works:
• Make and decorate a cake 🍰 together (or use cupcakes, brownies, or even fruit—anything works 🌿)
• Everyone reflects on something they’re proud of from 2025
• Swipe left to see the template we created—cut it out if you’d like to print the same one we used
• Write your reflection down, tape it to a skewer so it sits high, and share it out loud
• Place the skewer into the cake to complete your Celebration Cake

We found a non-GMO cake mix at Whole Foods to keep it friendly along with dye-free sprinkles, but any version is perfect.

The result is a cake filled with visible reminders of resilience, effort, and love.

💚 Why this matters:
Celebrating wins builds self-esteem, emotional awareness, and connection. Helping children recognize their successes is just as valuable as setting goals for what’s ahead.

We’ll be sharing our 2025 Celebration Cake tomorrow, but wanted to share this now in case you’d like to create your own with your little ones.

At PLAE Therapy, we love every opportunity to connect with our community — and last night was truly something special. Two of our incredible providers, as well as myself, joined a wonderful group of first-grade parents for their community-builder event… hosted inside a locally owned Utah brewery (owned by one of the parents). It was our first-ever children’s mental health event in a brewery 😉 and we absolutely loved supporting a small business while sharing space with such an engaged, warm parent community.

We were invited to talk about self-advocacy for young children, emotional scripts that help kids navigate social situations, understanding helicopter parenting, and ways to support emotional regulation at home. And honestly, the night wouldn’t have been what it was without Grace and Davey.

Grace brings a magic all her own — eight years as an elementary school teacher before becoming a therapist, bilingual in English and Spanish, gentle, intentional, and deeply attuned to how children learn and feel. Watching her support families reminds me why blending education and clinical skill is so powerful for little ones.

And then there’s Davey — a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade in Salt Lake’s school communities, fluent in three languages, fiercely compassionate, and a steady advocate for kids, teens, and families. He has a way of making every parent feel seen and every child feel safe. His cultural awareness, clinical expertise, and heart-centered approach show up in everything he does.

Standing beside these two last night, listening to them engage with families, was such a reminder of how grateful I am to have them on our PLAE Therapy team.

We’re so thankful to the Rowland Hall families for welcoming us with warmth, curiosity, and openness. What a beautiful night of connection. 🌿💚

We were invited by the incredible first-grade parents at Rowland Hall to join their community-builder event, hosted inside a locally owned Utah brewery run by one of their amazing parents and school teachers.

At PLAE Therapy, we love every opportunity to connect with our community — and last night was truly special.

It was absolutely fantastic to support a small local business while having such meaningful, insightful conversations with families.

Together, we explored self-advocacy for young children, emotional scripts that help kids navigate social settings, the impacts of helicopter parenting, and practical ways to support emotional growth in everyday routines. These conversations are the heart of why we love community work—education gives parents tools, confidence, and connection, and helps children feel truly seen and supported.

At PLAE Therapy, we love every opportunity to connect with our community. Over the past month, our team joined several amazing schools and parent groups across Salt Lake for meaningful conversations about children’s mental health and development.

We explored ways to strengthen children’s emotional intelligence (EQ), supportive parenting scripts, understanding behavioral cues, and simple strategies families can use to create calmer, more connected homes. Education and awareness give parents powerful tools in their back pocket and help children feel seen and supported.
