Founder and Clinical Director
When my own child needed play therapy, I realized how incredibly difficult it was to get her treatment here in Colorado. Finding a play therapist who took my insurance, coordinating when and where to go all while my husband and I were both working, and dealing with driving was SO stressful…. on top of an already extremely stressful time for our family!
As a play therapist, supervisor, professor, and mother, I want to make it easier for children to receive empirically-supported mental health services during the day, leaving more time for families to connect after school. School counselors do not have the bandwidth to provide the level of care that evidence shows creates long-term change for children and their parents: approximately 25-35 weekly sessions, combined with monthly parent support sessions.
CCPT is time and energy intensive, but the evidence also has shown time and again that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure when it comes to mental health.
Thank you for supporting our mission. Please do not hesitate to reach out.
Warmly,
Dr. Alison Sheesley
