Our Services
What we offer
ALL of are services are modifiable for the needs of the client and family.
Individual Therapy
We offer individual therapy for children and adolescents ages 3 and up. While confidentiality and therapeutic rapport is vital, this nearly always includes parents in some capacity, particularly the younger the client is. We specialize in play therapy, which can include both directive and nondirective approaches, imaginative play, sandtray, metaphorical, creative play and more.
Family Therapy
We offer family therapy for families in need of some additional support. This can be paired with individual sessions or the sole focus in therapy. Since we specialize in play therapy, it is often with a playful lens. We can modify and apply this to ALL ages, including adolescents.
Families that play together, stay together!
Group Offerings
We have varying group offerings for children and adolescents, including self esteem/anxiety, interrelational skills, and kids yoga. Please see our group offerings page for more details about upcoming groups.
Supervision
Lindsay Gayle, LMHC and Registered Play Therapist Supervisor offers individual and monthly group supervision for clinicians seeking their play therapy registration. Individual supervision is $90 per session. Group supervision occurs monthly in person and has limited spots. Cost is $50 per session. This is a great way to obtain play therapy supervision at a lower cost and to learn from other clinicians. Contact me at Lindsay@circlecityplaytherapy.com with questions and to sign up!

Play Therapy is defined by the Association of Play Therapy as “the systematic use of a theoretical model to establish an interpersonal process wherein trained Play Therapists use the therapeutic powers of play to help clients prevent or resolve psychosocial difficulties and achieve optimal growth and development."
Put more simply, play is a powerful tool to build rapport, engage the client and allow a natural means for processing and expression.
Our therapists have and are going through rigorous training and supervision to ensure they are providing the best care possible. These trainings include both directive and nondirective approaches that span Adlerian therapy, Theraplay, Child Centered Play Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and more.
