Practice Information

I provide PLAY THERAPY, PARENTING support, and counseling for TEENS and ADULTS! I am Brandi Chiarello, a Licensed Professional Counselor - Supervisor. The bulk of my counseling experience has been with individuals and families addressing behavioral issues, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and coping with life changes such as divorce, transition to college, and the introduction of a new child to the family. I simply love supporting people in reaching their goals and would love the opportunity to help you reach yours! I will work with you to minimize emotional distress and bring the fun back into your life! "You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation." -- Plato. Play therapy (for children ages 3-11) transforms traditional counseling into a style that is developmentally appropriate for children by allowing children to express themselves naturally through play! Our office works hard to put you at ease with evening sessions available, toys in the waiting room, and a comfortable adult office where we can talk.
