Nurturing Growth Through Play
At Appa’s House, we offer a safe and supportive environment where children and teens engage in self-exploration and personal growth. We utilize evidenced-based models of mental health counseling tailored specifically for the developmental needs of children and adolescents. With a focus on fostering emotional resilience and self-worth, we guide each child towards a path of healing and empowerment. Our team of compassionate therapists, including our therapy dog, Appa, create a warm and nurturing space where children feel understood and supported on their journey to emotional well-being.
