Play Therapy at Overcomers

Primarily for children, play therapy uses toys, games, and other forms of play as a way for kids to express their feelings, work through problems, and develop coping skills. It’s like the language of therapy for younger individuals.

Abby Leverentz, LPCC
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Abby is the most professional and strongest counselor I have ever worked with. Having a psychology background and working in social services, I am familiar or have worked with dozens of therapists. She is maintained a very professional approach and her model of counseling is a perfect blend between structure and empathy. I have recommended her services to several people and intended to continue doing so!

Serena Chalepah, LPCC
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Serena has not only knowledge, but compassion, understanding, guidance to push through whatever obstacles I have faced, and the advice needed to learn new traits or skills. I’ve definitely had a battle of finding a therapist I not only connect with, but someone I’m comfortable sharing some uncomfortable situations with to help move past. She’s been so very patient with me and my life’s ups and downs. I can’t thank her enough for being so genuine! Has been nothing but a great experience!
