Cammie Porter, MS, LPC, Registered Play Therapist™

I believe people do their best when they feel seen, understood, and supported. This belief guides my work with children and families and shapes how I approach healing and growth. I am often reminded that children, like all people, thrive when the conditions around them are steady, responsive, and nurturing.

My passion for working with children and families grew after becoming a parent myself. Through that experience, I gained a greater appreciation for the complexity of caregiving and the powerful role relationships play in a child’s emotional development. My work centers on strengthening the systems surrounding children-families, caregivers, and early learning environments-because these relationships have a lasting impact on a child’s development and overall well-being.

My education and clinical experience emphasize attachment, attunement, and empathy. I specialize in child-centered play therapy and filial family therapy, providing trauma-informed, strengths-based care that supports both children and the caregivers who love them. I work closely with families of young children navigating behavioral challenges, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and parenting stress, with a focus on fostering safety, connection, and understanding.

Outside of work, I am most often found in sweats with a cold cup of coffee, chasing around three very active little boys whom I adore. I enjoy trying new restaurants with my husband, practicing Pilates, and painting, activities that help me stay grounded and present, both personally and professionally.
