Our Mission Personified | Expert Guide for Parents & Educators





Our mission at Annie's Creative Counseling is simple:

We help children find calm,

Parents find peace

Educators find power


This mission has been at the forefront of my work as a therapist but started years back. As a School Counselor, I quickly realized that although I valued the trust shared to support children, I can't be the only resource. I was inundated with crisis and became the only solution. I realized the importance of empowerment. I like to say 'It Takes a Village', so there was no way I would allow anyone else to feel powerless. I'm an Educator by nature so I shared my knowledge with parents and staff members so that they were equipped with the necessary tools.

This is why our mission works


Help children find calm:

  • Whether it’s managing anxiety, school stress, or social challenges, we provide a safe, and nurturing space for children to express themselves. Through creative therapy techniques, like play therapy and art therapy, children can learn valuable coping skills that empower them to navigate their emotions with confidence.

Help parents find peace:

  • Parenting is one of the most rewarding yet challenging journeys, and the pressure to “get it right” can feel overwhelming. At Annie’s Creative Counseling, we work with parents to create peaceful, loving environments by offering tools to reduce stress, manage expectations, and balance self-care with caring for your child’s needs. My biggest joy is seeing parents get back in the driver's seat of their life. You don't have to do this alone; we’re here to help.
A parent reported that they were so frustrated with their kid's ADHD that they considered relocation, but now that they are able to self-regulate, the mom doesn't have to leave her job to pick him up from school and he is making friends. "Words can't describe how much relief I feel." -Overwhelmed Mom

Help educators find power:

  • Educators are the foundation of our children’s learning experiences, but the emotional toll of teaching can be draining. That’s why we’re committed to supporting teachers with stress management techniques, personalized counseling, and workshops to help them maintain their mental wellness. When educators are empowered, they can continue to lead with passion and strength. We believe you deserve to feel powerful today, not after burnout.

We believe that mental wellness is a right, not a privilege and our impact speaks for itself. The Counseling Cove blog is an extension of our mission so that you walk away feeling empowered and equipped with the tools needed to thrive.
