Hi! ........  My name is Jina Wilson.  I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and Registered Play Therapist, with a speciality area in working with children and adolescents. I have been fortunate enough to work with children and adolescents  for over 20 years. In that time I have learned the importance of connecting with them on their level.  That's where play therapy, art techniques, and sand tray therapy play a powerful role in making positive changes. Children have their own way of communicating their thoughts, feelings, wants and needs.  You can see this in the play room as they share their world with you through their eyes.  My goal is to help children feel understood, facilitate their growth and development, guide them and give them tools  for coping with stressors.  Another goal that is equally as important is supporting parents, offering parenting resources and strategies for them to utilize based on their child's current needs.
