Connect & Play Counselling
Kimberly’s foundational modality, Synergetic Play Therapy is a “research-informed model of play therapy blending the therapeutic power of play with nervous system regulation, interpersonal neurobiology, physics, attachment, mindfulness, and therapist authenticity. Although, Synergetic Play Therapy is a model of play therapy, it’s also a way of being in relationship with self and others. It’s an all-encompassing paradigm that can be applied to any facet of life and, subsequently, any model of play therapy can be applied to it or vice versa.”
Sessions available in person or virtual.
