Hunter Therapy Family Counseling
Open Monday-Saturday. Closed Sunday
Looking for a creative and fun way to express thoughts, behaviors, and feelings? Our goal at Hunter Therapy Family Counseling is to create a safe and playful environment to heal from change, prolonged stress, grief and loss and trauma. Art therapy can be an alternative to traditional talk therapy. We offer a wide range of activities, including art therapy, painting, sand trays, sports psychology, jewelry, and gardening. Each session is designed to meet your child's needs and build healthy coping skills and a strong emotional foundation.
Experience the difference of therapy outside in nature. The garden is a great space for children and adults to move around and find a peaceful place to reflect and be creative. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, family issues, or burnout we have a range of creative ways to help manage daily life stressors. Our goal is for you and your family to achieve a happier, healthier, and brighter future.
