CYNTHIA WOLF, MEd, LCPC, RPT, NCC, LPC

 

Cynthia is a Registered Play Therapist since 1999. She specializes in aged 3 to 9 and work closely with parents providing support and guidance in helping their child during each session. Cynthia counsels children, dealing with all issues that are presented in the developmental area of young children. Including, but not limited to: anxiety, depression, aggressive behavior, social skills, school and peer issues, sleep and eating issues, fears, defiance, mood changes, sibling issues, parenting support and coaching. She believes that each child and parent(s) are unique and individualize each session.

I had the rare and unique opportunity to be educated and trained by leaders in the field of Play Therapy at the University of North Texas. In addition to providing counseling to young children and their parents (or guardians), she supervises other counselors and Play Therapists passing on my expertise. Being a Play Therapist is not a job for Cynthia, but a passion

Specializing, exclusively, with children between the ages of 3 and 9( utilizing Play Therapy) gives me the wonderful opportunity to put all her focus on that age group and specialty. She places all her attention, research, training, education and focus on what is current in the field of my specialty, Play Therapy. Cynthia loves what she does, helping children and parents.
