Healing Through Play - Psychotherapy for Children

About Healing Through Play - Psychotherapy for Children

Our Lead Therapist, Heather Gunther, has over two decades of experience teaching kids, leading parenting workshops, providing counseling, and working with children around the world and with varying physical and mental abilities. Heather has advanced training in Play Therapy, transpersonal counseling, wilderness therapy, gestalt & gestalt equine therapy, leadership coaching, trauma, sensory sensitivities, autism, and continues to work with the best and brightest in the counseling field.

Heather is passionate about facilitating growth and transformation in others. She has worked with children struggling with: sensory sensitivities, emotional outbursts, fear and anxiety, medical issues/procedures, trauma, depression, overwhelm, lack of impulse control, self-harm behaviors, lying, stealing, acting younger than their age, making and/or maintaining friendships, anger and aggression, sibling rivalry, school, parents' divorce, etc.; and their parents, who want to support their children through these challenges.

These clients now have more self-confidence and balance. They act their age, make better choices, and their symptoms have dissipated because they have the lifelong tools to access greater awareness of their needs, increased emotional language and control, and better decision making abilities.
