Kim Lange, LCMHC Owner of Therapy Activities For Kids and EMOTIONanagans
I was scouring the internet search engines for great activities therapists can use with child clients as I do every week and I typed in the words therapy activities for kids. I came up with a website owned by Kim Lange, LCMHC who has devoted the last 20 years to providing therapeutic activities for child clients in her office and then the pandemic hit. Like a number of us, Kim rose to the occasion and quickly developed a new company called EMOTIONanigans (say it out loud… it’s a really cool non-word-word I personally love to repeat out loud because it’s fun). The focus of her website was to create and curate digital activities therapists could use immediately in their therapy for children and to build an online community for resource-sharing and connection (you can find her Facebook group here ). You’ll find loads of free resources in her group! Also sign up for her newsletter HERE.
I had to meet Kim and see who this brilliant therapist is who jumped into the driver’s seat when we most needed it and developed resource connections for therapy activities for kids! And I’m delighted I did. I also have gotten to review her digital products she has created and now I have to tell you about them!
Each of these digital therapy activities for kids is professionally and creatively designed by Kim, a seasoned therapist herself who has a natural knack for making technology simple and useful. And each activity once you purchase will yield you multiple downloads with straightforward access and instruction. Check these out!
