Mckenzie Bradford, LCSW writes about Trauma-informed play therapy helps children heal by providing a safe space to express emotions, process trauma, and regain a sense of control—all through play. Unlike traditional talk therapy, this approach allows kids to communicate their experiences naturally, fostering trust, emotional regulation, and resilience. Whether your child is struggling with anxiety, ADHD, or past trauma, play therapy offers a powerful path to healing. Looking for a compassionate therapist near you? Discover how trauma-informed counseling can support your child’s emotional well-being.

Storie Stinger, LCSW writes that not all therapists struggle with imposter syndrome—some of us know we are enough. Yes, self-doubt happens, but true confidence comes from doing your own work—processing trauma, facing insecurities, and walking through the darkness. You don’t have to be perfect to be a great therapist. Let’s drop the shame and embrace the truth: we can be imperfect, brave, and still more than enough.
