After 7 years as a teacher and school counselor, Kathryn (Nin) Emery now serves as a Licensed Professional Counselor. Her background was founded on a passion for working with teens, guiding them as they navigate the tumultuous period of adolescence. She will offer a safe, non-judgmental place to support personal growth. Older adolescents will be offered more privileges in privacy, however, parents will remain frequently updated and well-informed. Play therapy is also her passion; a research-based modality of working with younger children.

Young children do not possess the vocabulary/self-knowledge to discuss their troubles in talk therapy, they instead naturally play them out. Provided with specific toys to use as “words,” a child can process through issues and receive the same encouragement, non-judgment, and opportunities to reflect, as an adult would in talk therapy.

You can trust that Nin will work with you, the expert on your child, every step of the way. She will cultivate for you and your child a safe, encouraging space to expand on individual strengths and help you reach the bright future your family deserves. She looks forward to walking with you in this season of life.
