Maddie is a therapist with over eight years of experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults. She earned both her undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Georgia, and she’s also a Registered Play Therapist™.

What is play therapy?

Play therapy is a developmentally appropriate approach that uses a child’s natural language—play—to address social, emotional, and behavioral challenges. It helps children work through social, emotional, and behavioral challenges in a way that feels safe and familiar to them. Through play therapy, she also supports children navigating ADHD, behavioral concerns, and social difficulties.
