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 🎳🎲🎨
Carly
Hi! My name is Carly, and I am so glad you’re here! Growing up, I loved to play dress up with my sisters, and my favorite Disney Character was Princess Ariel 🧜🏻♀️. I wanted to be a veterinarian when I was little because I loved dogs so much 🐶! I had three siblings growing up: two older sisters and one baby brother. We used to play the impossible catch with my dad, where he threw a football 🏈 as far as he could, and we would run as fast as we could to try to catch it. As an adult, I love growing tomatoes 🍅 in my garden, going to restaurants with my friends, and watching movies 🍿on the weekend. My new favorite movie is “Inside Out 2.” 🧚🏻 I really related to the character of Anxiety. The movie does a great job of showing how anxiety is a normal feeling that everyone experiences sometimes. When you come to play therapy 🧸 we can play however and whatever you would like! This is a place where your imagination ✨ can run wild, and your feelings are important. I can’t wait to get to know you! 🐛🦋
Kara
Hi! My name is Kara, and my favorite color is pink! 🌸When I was a little kid I liked drawing and doing craft 🎨, playing outside with my friends 🪁 and dancing in my room! My best friend, Kayla, used to have lemonade stands all the time where we would sell lemonade and sometimes cookies 🍋🍪 – we even had a name for our business. We called it KK Products! It was so much fun! I also felt nervous a lot as a kid too, especially when I didn’t know what the adults around me were doing. Now I know how to take care of those nervous feelings when I feel them in my body, and that a lot of other people feel them too! As an adult I still love to dance in my room and make art. 💃
I also love to try new foods 🍣, go to concerts 🎸, and play with my dogs! 🐶When you come to play therapy we get to play however you want to play, and I can’t wait! 🤖🧩🎨
