Kristie Marie Keeling, Therapist
With over 15 years of experience working one-on-one with children before pursuing graduate school, Kristie developed a deep passion for child development and play therapy. She specializes in supporting children ages 2 to 16 who have learning and developmental disabilities, including ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, and Dyscalculia. Kristie also works with adults diagnosed with ADHD and Autism, helping them navigate the challenges that come with these conditions across different life stages.
Kristie utilizes a strength-based approach to boost self-esteem and confidence to provide a supportive environment catered to each client. Children, especially younger ones, often struggle to express what is bothering them or why they feel the way they do. Play, as a child’s first language, helps bridge this communication gap. By integrating play into therapy, Kristie creates an environment where children can express themselves naturally, making counseling both fun and effective. For older clients, Kristie likes to utilize a personalized approach based on special interests and learning styles to help them develop strategies for managing symptoms of ADHD and Autism, fostering personal growth and better daily functioning.
Outside of the playroom, Kristie can be found drawing, painting, reading, writing or playing with Legos.
