A note from Amanda

Kids and teens often have a tough time figuring out and talking about their complicated feelings. With all the schoolwork, navigating friendships, and spending a lot of time on devices, it’s common for them to feel stressed out, have trouble keeping their emotions in check, or struggle to navigate difficult life transitions.

And parents often struggle with how to best support their child during this stressful time.

I’m Amanda Cypret, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor at Silver River Counseling, and I understand how overwhelming it can be as a parent or caregiver.

That’s why, for over a decade, I’ve helped children express themselves in a language they understand: play. Through personalized sessions, I use this powerful tool to connect with your child, identify their needs, and guide them on their path to healing.
