Children are incredible, talented beings! However, oftentimes we have adult expectations of children, in terms of managing BIG emotions - when they haven't been given the tools to do so or feel heard when they try to express these feelings. I believe in harnessing the power of play (a child's language!) to give children a necessary outlet and room to practice these life skills. I utilize both direct and non-direct play techniques to help children prevent or resolve difficulties with which they are struggling. I believe in the healing power of play and the tremendous benefits it brings to children in therapy.

Young children do not have the verbal skills to explain what is bothering them and may become angry or depressed. I communicate with children at the appropriate age level using books, games, and drawing. As we play together, your child will feel safe and find a way to express feelings not easily expressed because of lack of words. I will help your child develop new coping and verbal skills that will allow expression of feelings. I will, or course, communicate with you as the parent and make suggestions to help you interact better with your child

Therapy for young children supports emotional expression, behavioral regulation, and healthy development during early years. Using developmentally appropriate, relational approaches, therapy helps children communicate feelings, build coping skills, and feel safer navigating big emotions or transitions. Caregivers are often included to strengthen attachment, improve understanding of a child’s needs, and support positive changes at home, school, and in relationships.

Delaney approaches counseling for children with warmth, patience, and a playful yet intentional style that meets each child where they are emotionally and developmentally. She creates a safe and supportive environment where children feel heard, understood, and empowered to express their thoughts and feelings.

Her goal is to equip children with coping skills, confidence, and emotional resilience that foster healthy growth, stronger relationships, and a sense of security both at home and at school.

Adolescents can be a beautiful time in life, but for some it can be terrifying. Navigating through life as we try to find who we are and where we belong can be a daunting task. Support and guidance is always necessary through this time, but also learning through our experiences is vital to development as well. The pressures and expectations that adolescents carry around with them is a huge weight. Having a supportive and caring adult to walk them through this time in their life can be vital to get through this stage in life and thrive.

Teens can have a variety of difficulties including questioning their identities, struggling with self esteem and acceptance issues, worrying about meeting expectations, lacking organizational skills, and recovering from abandonment or trauma. I work with teens to help them develop their personal values, identify their unique talents and abilities, develop social and practical skills, and heal from past hurts and trauma. Anxiety and bullying are also common issues I work with.
