About Us

We have been immersed in the world of play therapy for over 15 years. Through our volunteer work with the Virginia Association for Play Therapy, we recognized a pressing need for affordable and accessible play therapy services, continuing education, supervision, and consultation. Seeing the profound impact these resources have on both professionals and the children they serve inspired us to act.

This shared vision and commitment to supporting children and the professionals who care for them led us to establish Integrated Play Connections Therapy Center, PLLC, a center dedicated to providing high-quality play therapy services while fostering a collaborative, empowering community for those working with children.
