                "description": "Hughes Counseling offers professional counseling for children and families. Children can often become overwhelmed by their emotions making it difficult to communicate and connect with others. It is my goal to create a safe and empowering environment to allow for trust and connection to be built. Through the use of play therapy, I work with children to develop social skills, build a sense of self, and support their mental health."
