A Play Therapist's Role

Being a therapist means becoming a lilypad—a place of safety where healing can rest and begin again.

—Dr. Clair Mellenthin

Hi! I'm Clair Mellenthin, PhD, LCSW, RPT-S. You are in the right place if you prioritize the well being of the children you love, over tradition and the well-intentioned but clearly not working parenting and therapy strategies of the past.

With more than twenty years of clinical experience, authoring six books about play therapy and speaking to therapists around the globe I am here to tell you there is hope! 

Join me as we rediscover the joy of connection, healthy relationships and attachment through play! Keep Playing!
