What to Expect Working with Conner

Conner brings a chill and relaxed style to his sessions. He creates a safe space where children feel heard and comfortable discussing anything that may be bothering them.

His approach with kids and pre-teens combines child-centered play therapy, where the child has the reins, with directed play therapy, where Conner gently introduces activities to explore certain emotions and related topics.
