Affordable Therapy
Our intern therapists provide high-quality therapy at a reduced rate, offering a more accessible option for those seeking support. Under the supervision of experienced clinicians, they bring fresh perspectives, current training, and a strong commitment to helping you thrive, without compromising on quality or care.
Affordable psychotherapy is provided by a clinical intern—an advanced graduate student completing supervised training as part of an accredited Master’s-level program in psychotherapy. All sessions are overseen by a Registered Psychotherapist and Certified Play Therapist, ensuring high ethical standards and quality care. Choosing to work with an intern offers a more accessible therapy option while also supporting the development of future mental health professionals.

Getting Started
Imagine what it would be like to start play therapy with us:
-
Begin with a complimentary 15-minute consultation with Tina to discuss your concerns, goals, and how we can best support you or your child/teen. This conversation helps Tina understand your needs and determine the best fit—whether that’s working together directly or connecting you with an intern therapist whose approach and skills align with your unique situation.
-
Once we decide to move forward, you and the intern therapist will collaborate on a personalized therapy plan tailored to your (or your child/teen’s) unique needs and goals. Together, you'll explore which therapeutic approaches are the best fit and how they can effectively support healing, growth, and meaningful change.
-
Each session offers a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space for you or your child/teen to explore emotions, reflect on challenges, and foster growth. Whether in-person or virtual, sessions are guided with empathy, clinical expertise, and a deep commitment to emotional well-being and meaningful progress.
