Kellie Preston, a dedicated Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 16 years of clinical experience, holds multiple credentials including Children's Mental Health Specialist and Certified Play Therapy Supervisor. She specializes in working with preteens, children, teens, and families who have encountered trauma, often struggling with anxiety, depression, attentional difficulties, and developmental obstacles. Kellie's approach centers on the belief that everyone possesses innate wisdom to overcome their challenges, and she uses expressive arts therapies—such as art therapy, expressive arts, and play therapy—to help clients articulate their experiences through creativity. Through methods such as clay work, journal writing, and sand tray play, clients learn to express and externalize their concerns, facilitating profound healing and mastery. Kellie's commitment to fostering transformation is evident as she guides families in pain to reconnect and communicate meaningfully, allowing each individual to realize their full potential. The Play Therapy Cottage, a unique nonclinical residential setting, provides a serene garden environment conducive to healing. With supportive canine co-therapists Zoe, Simba, and Sasha ready to embrace visitors, Kellie offers a nurturing space for children, adolescents, adults, and families on their healing journey.
