I am Percilla Carey, but everyone just calls me PC. I got my license to do therapy in 1990.
Therapy does not need to be boring or feel like a trip to the principal’s office. It can be fun. We might have a non-verbal crayon conversation. Or use Squiggles to draw a picture and tell a story. I use therapeutic storytelling, art, games, and singing. This allows the child to address the issues without becoming overwhelmed. I also use a three-level cartoon to allow teenagers to process their thoughts, feelings, and actions.
I worked for five years with teenagers in a private school. Through the years, I have worked with children and teens who have experienced physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. I have led sexual abuse therapy groups with girls ages 10-13. I counseled children and teenagers who were referred by the school system.
Children’s literature is often filled with fairy tales and make-believe, but many children and adolescents live in a very real world that has no magical solutions. They may have been subjected to unsafe environments and unsafe people. Even small children may become worried and anxious. Teens may lash out in anger, aggression, and defiance. If the trauma they have experienced is not addressed, it may cause long-lasting effects. If bullied or not feeling safe, it is hard to pay attention in school.
I would welcome the opportunity to work with your child or adolescent and see them find a place of hope and joy in their lives. I would love to see them move towards their full potential.

“I know the plans that God has for you are good for you...”
Therapy with me looks like: You may hear giggles as we do a non-verbal crayon conversation. We then may make a picture from squiggles, and tell a totally made up story. We may do relaxation exercises especially for children. Playing therapeutic games also makes therapy fun.
Teenagers may be able to process the choices they are making by creating a three level cartoon that examines thoughts, feelings, and actions.
Parents may learn how to help their children create a Joy Jar to reward behavior.
My favorite kids game: We had a place on the lake. I enjoy swimming and water skiing.
Fun fact: The children in my life include twins.
My favorite hobbies: I enjoy making crafts out of wood.
