MAXINE SHARRAH COUNSELING LLC

I have specialized training in Synergetic Play Therapy® (SPT), a model of play therapy that blends the latest research in neuroscience, attachment, and nervous system regulation. SPT goes beyond traditional play therapy by focusing not just on the child’s external behaviors, but also on what’s happening internally, both for the child and the therapist.

​

As a therapist, I stay present and attuned in the playroom, modeling regulation and authentic connection. This allows children to safely explore overwhelming emotions, such as anger, fear, or sadness, while practicing how to self-regulate and put words to their inner experiences. Parents are included in the process, helping the whole family system to shift and grow together.
