At Green Counseling Services, we are committed to providing developmentally appropriate services that support emotional, social, and overall mental health. Our clinicians are trained to meet young people at their developmental level, helping them grow, heal, and thrive.  Our therapeutic play environments are intentionally designed to foster connection, creativity, and emotional growth, and we create individualized treatment plans that honor each child’s unique strengths and needs.

Our providers are dedicated to deepening their play therapy expertise through weekly play therapy training led by John Upshaw (LISW, RPT-S, CAdPT) a Registered Play Therapist and Supervisor, and to creating thoughtful, therapeutic playrooms across our clinics that meet children where they are.
