Shameka Bolden

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia and Registered Play Therapist™. As a graduate of Radford University and Virginia Tech my services continue to foster healing in the community that trained me. My specialty is in working with children and young-adults addressing issues of adjustment, anxiety, minority and cultural stressors, gender-based violence, depression and trauma. My skill set involves a variety of techniques including Play Therapy, Sandtray Therapy and Person-Centered Therapy. I also enjoy using a variety of interventions such as bibliotherapy, creative arts work, and mindfulness. I love working with all ages, however, kids may be my favorite! Playing truly allows for free expression. While play therapy is often geared towards younger children, studies show it is effective across the lifespan; meaning, you’re never too old to play!​​
