Kerry Shotz

Kerry Shotz, a licensed counselor with over twenty-five years of experience, is dedicated to supporting concerned parents in navigating the unique challenges of family life. She understands that each child, whether a toddler or a teenager, approaches challenges differently from adults, lacking the life experience that adults accumulate over time. In today's fast-paced world, children face numerous pressures and stressors, and Kerry is here to help families find the light amid these challenges. Her therapy sessions are tailored to meet the individual needs of each child, utilizing an array of creative modalities such as Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Expressive Arts, Art Therapy, and Play Therapy. By fostering a non-threatening environment through the use of paint, clay, and movement, Kerry helps children relax, making them more receptive to new ideas and strategies. Research indicates that fun and relaxation enhance learning, and Kerry's Art Therapy approach emphasizes the journey over the final product—no previous artistic skills required. Through the combination of psychotherapy and creative arts, Kerry creates powerful interventions that promote positive behavioral changes, paving the way for a brighter future for children and families alike.
