About Felicia Powell
Play-based interventions for Kids, Teens, and Families
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor that utilizes play-based interventions with children, age 3 to17. Whether you're a parent seeking support with emotional outbursts, depression, anxiety, autism, or other concerns you have for your child, I can help you improve your relationship with them and manage their symptoms. I believe in using Play-based interventions because it allows children to communicate in a way that is less invasive and natural to them! While working together, we create a plan which fosters resilience, decreases anxiety, improves communication and problematic behaviors.
