Interplay Counseling

Interplay Counseling Services is a provider of individual and whole family therapy, dedicated to helping clients navigate a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and situational challenges. We are committed to delivering high-quality therapy services through a 100% virtual platform, ensuring continuity of care and safety for our clients during uncertain times. We believe in the effectiveness of telehealth services and have seen positive results with clients, including those receiving EMDR and play therapy.

Our team specializes in treating anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma-related issues. We also provide support for caregivers, relationship conflicts, underlying issues leading to addiction (including video game addiction), speech and performance anxieties, ADHD and learning disability support and advocacy, and more. We utilize various therapeutic techniques, including talk therapy, EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), experiential therapy, art therapy, sand tray, and play therapy. We understand that not all techniques work for everyone, and we are dedicated to finding the method that resonates with you.

We treat clients of all ages, from children to teens to adults, with compassion and respect. Our team consists of experienced and highly trained therapists, each with their unique strengths and specialties. We invite you to learn more about our counselors, what to expect, and fill out forms for your first appointment.
