Welcome, I’m Shaunna Cline.
I use prescriptive play therapy, storytelling, games, art, and other experiential activities to promote self-discovery, social-emotional learning, and improved well-being. I have extensive experience working with special needs children and bedside counselling. Communication with parents and caregivers is vital. I collaborate with everyone involved to create a plan towards shared goals. Together, we can help the young person you care about navigate challenges and develop the skills needed to thrive.
I’m a Therapotamus!
