Therapeutic games created by a Licensed Professional Counselor

Hi, I’m Lindsey, M.Ed., LPC -a mom-at-heart, a former school counselor turned Licensed Professional Counselor and the founder of Creative Ways LLC.

I’ve always loved therapeutic games in my own practice, so I decided to create my own games because I needed them in the work I do with children, teens and families.

In my work with children and families, I learned that connection doesn’t come from asking more questions-it comes from creating the right environment. When play is introduced, everything changes. Kids feel safer, more open, and conversations begin to happen naturally.

That’s exactly what these games are designed to do.

Each Let’s Discuss…game is built with intention-grounded in real clinical experience to help children:

  • Build trust and connection

  • Express thoughts and emotions freely

  • Strengthen communication and social skills

  • Feel seen, heard and understood

These aren’t just games-they’re tools I use in my own sessions, created to help you create meaningful moments with kids you work with or love.

Welcome to Creative Ways- where healing begins through play.
