Hi, My name is Bianca and I am a licensed professional clinical counselor with a passion for nurturing young minds. I am dedicated to creating a safe and supportive environment for children and families. I hold a Masters Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The University of Akron (2019) and have experience working with adults and children facing a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, ADHD, autism and trauma. I utilize evidence-based practices, including play and art therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, trauma informed therapy as well as training in EMDR. My approach is rooted in understanding the unique experiences of each child, allowing me to tailor interventions that promote resilience, emotional regulation and healing. I believe in the power of building trusting relationships, allowing kids to express themselves freely while discovering their strengths. It is important to me to involve parents in the process of counseling with their children to assist in promoting healing and growth. Whether it is behavioral concerns, social struggles or academic difficulties, I am dedicated to working as a team to help your child thrive. I started this program in an effort to reach children, parents and families and provide them with the tools and strategies to support your child’s growth at home and in everyday life. Due to the high demand for counseling, there are wait lists that tend to leave parents without assistance for long periods of time. I created this program to be able to help parents who are in need of immediate guidance in supporting their child. I will provide resources and strategies to support your child's growth both in and out of therapy, in which they can utilize skills at home and eliminate the need of long term counseling, or to establish a base of information in preparation for therapy. Together, we can foster a positive environment, development and growth for your child.
