Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Play Therapist
Elizabeth Campbell, LCSW, ICST, RPT
It is a brave step to begin therapy. Dedicating the time, energy, and resources to tend to yourself is both a big commitment and challenging work. Therapy can be a space that helps us create change and generate insight into our feelings, behaviors, and relationships. I believe deeply in the importance of creating a safe space while also building a strong therapeutic alliance. The healing/growth process is not always the most comfortable but there is nothing more empowering than taking our power back. If you are ready to begin taking good care of yourself, I can help you along that path.
My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, realistic, and empathetic. I have had the privilege of serving children,teens, adults, and families from diverse backgrounds. I specialize in trauma therapy in children and adults and enjoy an experiential approach to healing. I have experience working with domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking survivors. I am trained as a child and adolescent trauma professional, and I am also skilled in assisting in an array of clinical issues including chronic stress and anxiety, trauma, ADHD, depression, mood disorders, various personality disorders, Adoption concerns (Birthparents, Adoptive Parents, and Adoptees), esteem, and self-worth, along with academic and employment challenges. I welcome LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities into my practice.
In our sessions, you can expect to see several therapy modalities utilized including Adlerian Play Therapy, Sand Tray Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing (MI), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and narrative therapy.

Sand Tray Therapy
At Play It Forward Counseling, we help children express their feelings in ways that feel natural and comfortable for them. Play is children's natural language and a great tool for children to share their emotions as they process their experiences. Our play therapists are dedicated to helping children feel safe and secure while developing healthy coping skills.
Play therapy can include music, art therapy, sand tray therapy, and other activities. We make it fun and inviting for children to explore their emotions and feel better. We use play therapy to help children build better relationships, find solutions, and create a more balanced life.
If your child has gone through a traumatic experience, struggling in school, or appears to need extra support —play therapy can help them work through their difficult feelings and experiences. We understand how children think, feel, and process emotions differently than adults. Play therapy is an effective way for children to heal from trauma, build self-esteem, and develop better communication skills
