Meet the Owner..

Welcome to Power of Play Therapy, I am Chloé Charles the owner and Licensed Mental Health Counselor at Power of Play Therapy. I opened Power of Play Therapy to focus specifically on providing mental health services for children, teens, and young adults. I am driven by my passion for bridging the gap between mental health services and children’s access to them. I feel children’s mental health is often overshadowed by external factors, preventing them from getting the care they need and deserve.

I specialize in play therapy, but believe in offering a comprehensive set of services for treatment of various presenting concerns. As such, our team offers a wide range of behavioral health services including: individual therapy, marriage/family therapy, play therapy, and group therapy.

As a child who experienced play therapy firsthand, I empathize with each child and family’s journey towards mental wellness.

Here at Power of Pay Therapy we have created a team of mental health professionals who share my passion for children’ mental health. Thank you for trusting our team to be a support in your journey.

I strive to empower clients/caregivers with practical, tools/coping skills, allowing them to confidently navigate life, lower stress and reach their full potential.

    I’m passionate about walking alongside children, teens, and young adults as they navigate life’s challenges. I specialize in helping clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, ADHD, self-esteem challenges, emotional dysregulation, and trauma. In sessions, I often incorporate specialized techniques such as Sand Tray Therapy and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help clients work through difficult experiences, develop healthier coping skills, and replace unhelpful beliefs with more adaptive ones.
