Therapy Services
We are not currently accepting new patients for ongoing therapy services, but are still available to provide consultation services for your family in the form of individual caregiver consultations, caregiver trainings and group caregiver informational sessions.
If you would like to schedule an appointment to receive brief clinical guidance or recommendations for your child based on their individual needs, please schedule a Virtual Brief Clinical Consultation with our office by clicking the button below.

Clinical Supervision
Before a new therapist is granted licensure in the state of Georgia, it is a requirement that they receive clinical supervision. Clinical supervision provides an opportunity for new therapists to receive clinical feedback and practical guidance from a seasoned clinician.
Clinical Supervision services are provided by Corina Giles, a Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor (CPCS) and a Registered Play Therapist Supervisor (TM).
Corina is currently accepting new supervisees for individual and group services.
Distance, in-office and on-location services are available.
For more information on our supervision program, please contact us by clicking the button below.

What separates play therapy from ordinary play? The goal of this training is to help experienced clinicians understand the history and definition of play therapy; learn the fundamental skills of play therapy; review current research and models in play therapy; and practice basic play therapy skills and interventions.
"Finding the Therapy in Play" was designed for clinicians that use play in their therapy practice and understand its strength, but have little to no formal training in the area of play therapy. This training engages participants through visual, kinesthetic, aural, social, solitary and verbal learning. Appropriate for beginner to mid-level clinicians.
Training Cost: $90.00
Optional Expertly Curated 40-Item Play Therapy Starter Kit $150.00
