Kellee
Hi 👋 I’m Kellee. FUN FACT! When I was in the 8th grade I emailed all my friends letting them know I was changing my name from Kelly to Kellee, and it stuck ever since! 😊 When I was a kid I would build towers from the floor to the ceiling using Legos with my dad. I played games called Duck Hunt and Mario on Nintendo. I loved sleeping out on my trampoline, or in my playhouse I built with my dad. I made forts wherever I could, and had an imaginary friend named Christine….well my parents told me she was imaginary, but she felt real 👯♀️. I wanted to be an astronaut 🚀 when I grew up. I had 9 siblings, making a total of 10 of us! My siblings were not all from the same parents as my parents divorced when I was 5. There were times I got in trouble during school, and mostly I was told I talked too much. Now I know my brain works differently, and my talking was helping me stay calm in school.
As an adult my favorite color is purple, my favorite number is 8, and my favorite drink is lemonade. I still love spending the night outside🏕, and I love going to concerts🎸
When you come to play therapy your only job is to play! The kid inside of me is so excited to meet you 🎳🎲🎨
Bella
👋 Hi! My name is Bella, and when I was a kid, I loved making up dances with my cousins and putting on performances for our family! 💃✨ I also loved cheerleading, swimming 🏊♀️, painting 🎨, and jumping on the trampoline 🤸♀️. I loved to sing 🎤 and take piano lessons 🎹, but whenever I had to perform in front of new people, I would get really nervous. I used to feel so scared being on stage in front of people I didn’t know 😬. Now I know those feelings are completely normal, and I’ve learned ways to help my mind and body feel calm and safe in moments like that!! 💗 My Nona (that’s Italian for Grandma!) taught me how to sew, and I used to make blankets and pajamas for my family. 🧵💖 As an adult, my favorite color is pink 🌸. I love going to concerts 🎸, dancing 💃, baking 🍰, and spending time in nature and the sun ☀️. I love how curious kids are about the world and the creative ways they see things! 🌎💭 When you come to play therapy, we get to play however you want! I can’t wait to meet you and see where your imagination takes us! 🎨🧩🤖🎲
