Deborah Greco, MSW, LCSW, RPT
My passion is working with children and their families. Children use play to speak to us; play therapy is how we hear them. Through play, they are able to grow and heal at their own pace and developmental level.
I believe that we often possess the attributes we need to get through the difficult times in life but may have a hard time discovering where those attributes lie. As a therapist, my role is to walk the path of discovery with you. Grief and loss can be at the center of our struggles. Often our loss is not acknowledged, and we cannot stop to grieve what we have lost in our life journey. I enjoy helping individuals find their strength and discover that what they cannot do alone, they can achieve with help.
I have worked in schools, hospitals and non-profit sectors helping pre-school children through teenagers and adults. I bring 20 years of experience with me to our therapeutic partnership. I am committed to providing a safe and comfortable place for you and your child to celebrate the growth you achieve.
Mia Sepulveda, MSW, LMSW
As a therapist, I am committed to walk the path of discovery with you and your child. Children’s play is their language, their toys their words. I am trained in Child Centered Play Therapy. Play therapy is how we validate young children. I am here to help facilitate the expression of children’s feelings.
I am trained in and treat clients with evidenced based therapies including play therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for children. My experience includes working as a therapeutic coach at the Monarch School, a school specializing in Autistic children. I have also worked with young children in elementary school settings. During my graduate school internship, I worked with substance use disorders at Menninger Hospital in Houston. I continue to receive training in Play Therapy as I work towards a Play Therapy certification.
Therapy is about relationship. It’s about the therapeutic relationship between client and the therapist as well as the relationship between you and your loved ones. I understand the importance of parenting to improve your relationship with your child. I also understand the importance of communicating real emotions to help heal or improve relationships.

Seeking therapeutic services is a courageous act that often goes unrecognized and unpraised. Asking for help means surrendering our defenses—the very defenses that have long kept us confined within walls of comfort and inward retreat. As a therapist, it is my greatest passion to hold the hands of those who find the strength to start dismantling those barriers and guide them through the process of rebuilding their lives. Together, we transform vulnerability into resilience, creating new foundations for growth and healing, one step at a time.
Not only can seeking help for ourselves be an intimidating task, but finding the right resources for our children can be equally as overwhelming. Take a moment to breathe and acknowledge that you are on the right path. Being a parent is the most challenging yet rewarding job to exist, thus seeking help in times of need is both honorable and admirable.
My approach to therapy with all clients is soft and meaningful. At the very core of the growth you will experience is the therapeutic relationship, one in which I follow your lead in taking the time to build trust and safety. I am here to witness your growth, hold space for your growing pains, and help you uncover what may be missing along your journey.
