Playful Path Counseling, LLC

Hi, I'm Erica Hutchison, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 9 years of experience providing counseling services to children and families. I have provided individual, family, and group counseling to children in therapeutic preschool, school-based, outpatient, day treatment, and private practice settings. I hold specialty certifications in play therapy and clinical mental health, and am also a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). As a Registered Play Therapist (RPT), I have received extensive education, training, and supervision in the field of play therapy.  I feel privileged to work with children and help them to heal emotionally, repair relationships, and improve daily functioning. As a child-centered play therapist, I believe that all children possess the inner resources to heal themselves. I also believe that play therapy, family support, and the child's relationship with the therapist, best enable children to access those inner resources so they can heal, move forward, and be successful. I am the only registered play therapist in private practice in the Arkansas River Valley, and look forward to working with you and your child!
