The Heart of Our Practice

At Life Voyages Counseling for Children & Adolescents, LLC, our mission is built on the profound belief that every young person possesses an inner spark capable of overcoming life's storms. Our approach is deeply personal and rooted in empathy, where we foster a genuine connection between therapist and child to create a sanctuary for growth. We walk alongside every adolescent, honoring their unique story and providing a compassionate space where they feel truly seen and heard. By nurturing emotional resilience and authenticity, we strive to empower the next generation to navigate their world with newfound hope and courage.
Dr. Crawford selects a therapeutic approach based on the client's age, developmental level, and presenting issue(s). She may choose from several therapeutic approaches, including child-centered play therapy, cognitive-behavioral play therapy, Adlerian play therapy, solution-focused play therapy, narrative therapy, sand tray therapy, expressive arts therapy, and filial therapy in which parent(s) work to build better relationships with their children. Finally, for adult clients, she offers person-centered counseling and expressive arts therapy.
Our Core Beliefs
We understand that play serves as the natural language of childhood. Our practice focuses on providing a safe, welcoming environment where children and adolescents can explore their emotions and experiences through creative expression. We support them on a journey toward healing, helping them find their voice and build resilience through the power of play.
