ABOUT US

Carrefour Counseling & Play Therapy, LLC is a solo private practice that is owned and operated by Chris Belcher. Chris is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in the state of Tennessee and the state of Virginia. He is also registered nationally as a Registered Play Therapist (RPT-S) with the Association for Play Therapy and a Certified Filial Therapist Instructor (CFT-I). Carrefour Counseling is a general mental health practice and incorporates play with young children as well as family play interventions, when appropriate. Many counselors use play therapy techniques when working with children, however a registered play therapist has received specialized training, supervision, and met other criteria to hold this level of credentials. When working with children and families Chris is trained to engage and treat children in developmentally appropriate modes of therapy.

Carrefour is a French word that literally translates to “crossroads”. The word Carrefour also has a dual meaning and indicates “a point where a crucial decision must be made”. At Carrefour Counseling & Play Therapy LLC, we offer an eclectic treatment approach grounded in Person Centered theory. An eclectic approach to therapy utilizes interventions from a variety of backgrounds to customize treatment to meet the needs of each individual or family. Theoretically, Person Centered generally means that we believe that each person has within them the will, motivation, and ability to solve their problems given a safe and secure environment to work. You are the expert on your life and an essential part of the treatment process. Our first goal is to create an environment where you can begin the process of collaboration to meet your goals for treatment at our practice.
