🌿 Heather Hatfield, M.A., PLPC Registered Play Therapist in Training | Certified Trauma Professional | ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider PeaceTree Wellness Center – Barboursville, WV About Me Hi, I’m Heather — a school-based and private practice therapist who believes healing happens through connection, safety, and play. I specialize in helping children and families navigate big emotions, behavioral challenges, and stressful life changes in a supportive and non-judgmental environment. My approach is trauma-informed, attachment-based, and developmentally grounded, helping kids learn to understand their feelings and build healthy coping skills through the natural language of play. My Approach I integrate Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) and Synergetic Play Therapy (SPT) principles, blending neuroscience, attachment theory, and creative expression to help children regulate their nervous systems and strengthen their relationships. Sessions often include sensory play, art, storytelling, and mindfulness—always paced to meet each child where they are. For families, I provide coaching and parent sessions to build insight, routines, and gentle structure at home. I also offer collaboration with schools to support classroom success and 504/IEP advocacy, ensuring each child’s emotional and learning needs are understood and supported.
