Maura Freshour

MSW, LICSW

I am passionate about supporting children (ages 3+), teens, and parents through all stages of the parenting journey - from infertility and pregnancy to postpartum, adoption, and beyond. Whether you're experiencing the joys and struggles of parenthood, adjusting to family changes, trauma, or seeking support for your child's emotional well-being, I'm here to help.

​

MAURA'S APPROACH

I believe in creating a warm, playful, and collaborative space where you and your child can feel comfortable sharing your experiences. My approach is strengths-based and client-centered, meaning I tailor therapy to your family's unique needs and goals. I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches, including play therapy, Theraplay®, child-centered play therapy, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and attachment-based therapy. These approaches are easily adapted to meet the developmental needs of children and teens, ensuring that each individual feels understood and supported. I'm also working towards becoming a Registered Play Therapist.

To help children and families understand and process their experiences, I often use creative and engaging techniques, such as visual aids, games, and activities. I believe in empowering families to continue their growth outside of sessions and encourage active participation in their therapeutic journey.
