Rochelle Peet

I believe children thrive when they feel understood, connected, and supported, and I am passionate about helping families build those experiences together.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), National Certified Counselor (NCC), and Registered Play Therapist (RPT) who specializes in working with children, teens, and families. My areas of focus include ADHD, autism, anxiety, emotional regulation challenges, behavioral concerns, family stress, trauma, and parent support.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of helping children who feel misunderstood, overwhelmed, frustrated, or stuck discover their strengths and build confidence in themselves. I know that parenting a child with emotional, behavioral, or developmental challenges can sometimes feel exhausting and isolating. My goal is to provide a space where both children and caregivers feel supported, respected, and empowered.

I use play, creativity, and relationship-building to help children express themselves in ways that feel natural and comfortable. At the same time, I work closely with parents because lasting change happens when children and caregivers grow together. I believe every child has unique strengths, and I strive to create an environment where they can feel safe, valued, and capable of success.

My approach is warm, collaborative, strengths-based, and neurodiversity-affirming. Rather than focusing solely on eliminating behaviors, I work to understand what children are communicating through those behaviors and help families develop strategies that strengthen connection and understanding.

I draw from Adlerian Play Therapy, child-centered approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and family-based interventions. Therapy is tailored to each child's developmental level, personality, interests, and unique needs.

For children, therapy often includes play, art, storytelling, games, and other creative activities that make it easier to process emotions, build coping skills, and practice problem-solving. For parents, therapy includes practical guidance, education, and support that can be applied at home.

I view parents and caregivers as essential members of the treatment team. Together, we identify goals, celebrate successes, and build on your family's strengths. My hope is that therapy not only helps address current concerns but also strengthens relationships and creates tools that support long-term growth and resilience.

The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin building a trusting relationship.

For children, I focus on creating a welcoming, comfortable environment where they can explore, play, and learn that therapy is a safe place. I do not expect children to immediately open up or talk about difficult feelings. Instead, I meet them where they are and move at a pace that feels comfortable.

For parents and caregivers, the first session allows me to learn more about your concerns, your child's strengths, and what you hope to gain from therapy. We will discuss your family's experiences, answer any questions you may have, and begin identifying goals for treatment.

Most importantly, you can expect a nonjudgmental and supportive experience. My goal is for both you and your child to leave feeling heard, understood, and hopeful about the path forward.
