About Me

- Therapeutic philosophy: Every child deserves to be seen, heard, and occasionally reminded that they are not the CEO of this household.

- Favorite therapeutic tool: A dollhouse. You'd be surprised what people reveal when they think they're just moving furniture.

- Ideal client: Children with big personalities. I recognize greatness when I see it.

- Professional strength: Building rapport. Honestly, people tend to love me immediately.

- Approach to parents: Collaborative. But I do expect you to recognize expertise when it's sitting across from you in fabulous shoes.

I charge $275 per session, but offer a complimentary consultation. Fifteen minutes with me is already a gift.

My Practice at a Glance

I specialize in children with big feelings, parents with bigger feelings, and families who need somebody fabulous to restore order. My office has toys, glitter, and excellent lighting. My favorite tool? A dollhouse. You'd be surprised what people reveal when they think they're just moving furniture.

What Guides Our Work Together?

Children communicate through play. I communicate through wisdom, confidence, and occasionally a well-timed side-eye. My approach is child-centered, strengths-based, and designed to help little people realize their full potential. Almost as much potential as me.

What Is It Like to Work With Me?

Fun. Brilliant. Beautiful. Those are just the words I'd use, but my clients probably agree. Kids love my playroom, parents appreciate my insight, and everybody leaves knowing that Ava Coleman has once again made the world a little better.

How Do We Begin Our Work Together?

First, we meet. You tell me what's going on, I listen, and we decide how I can help your child thrive. Kids get to explore the playroom. Parents get to ask questions. I get to make an excellent first impression. Everybody wins.
