    Kelle Arend

    Kelle Arend, MA
    Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

    I enjoy working with diverse families, children and adolescents using a holistic, empathetic, relational and play based approach.

    I strongly believe that we each possess inherent goodness, inner wisdom and the tools needed for growth throughout the lifespan. My role is to provide a safe, nurturing and supportive environment for children and families to re-engage with these strengths and use them to drive purpose and joy in their lives and relationships.

    I work together with families as a team, and utilize humor, play, and expressive activities to help process, reflect and rework traumas and stressors, and guide individuals and families towards healing, connection and shared joy.

    I help kids and their families with issues including attachment, adoption, Early Childhood Mental Health, divorce concerns, parent/child relationship, co-parenting, difficult life changes and transitions, anxiety and depression, and trauma, behavioral issues, and school and peer challenges.

    Child Therapy and Play Therapy:

    My specialty and passion is working with children (birth to age 12) and their families who experience all sorts of challenges that arise within life. I often use a dedicated space for play therapy and exploration to help kids feel very safe and comfortable, and eager to come for their sessions.

    Training:

    I use models that are grounded in developmental, attachment and systems theories and work to create, revive and restore connection within families.

    I am currently working toward my Registered Play Therapy Certification; and am trained in Sand Tray, Directive/Nondirective Play Therapy, and Somatic Experiential Play Therapy. These are evidenced-based modalities and the highest standard for working with children.

    I have also completed Level One of Theraplay, an evidenced-based child and family therapy model for building and enhancing attachment, self-esteem, trust and joyful engagement within the family relationships. I have been trained in the Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health and Developmental Disorders of Infancy and Early Childhood (DC:0-5).

    Finally, I am also a Certified Facilitator of Prepare/Enrich, an inventory and assessment tool for premarital and marriage counseling.
