Mission Statement:
As a Nondirective, Child-Centered Play Therapist, I prioritize your family’s relationship by meeting your children where they are and equipping you with the skills to support their growth into happy, healthy adults.
Caila Lene, LPC, RPT™, is a licensed child and family therapist serving children and families in Richmond and Columbia counties. Caila exclusively provides services for children and caregivers to help navigate mental health issues, behavioral problems, and life stressors. She helps reduce the power struggle between family members, promotes engagement, and improves communication skills and emotional regulation. Caila’s treasured moments are when children transform and feel the positive shift that play allows.
She has a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health and became a Certified+ Play Therapy Professional in 2024 nd Registered Play Therapist™ in 2026. She specializes in Non-directive Child-Centered Play Therapy to support children in developing long-lasting skills for life’s highs and lows. Caila enjoys restoring the power and capability of caregivers by equipping parents with effective skills. She teaches parents how to increase emotional intelligence, make the parent/child relationship more collaborative, use age-appropriate limitations and boundaries, and show parents how to use encouragement to increase child self-efficacy.
