Bio

Your child struggles with big emotions, confidence issues, or feels overwhelmed by life’s challenges. You watch them navigate difficult feelings and wish you had the right tools to help them thrive. You need someone who truly understands what children need to flourish emotionally.

I hold a Master of Science in Counseling from the University of North Georgia and am currently an APC counselor at Sunshine Child & Family Counseling. With years of hands-on experience as a nanny and Sunday School leader, plus a strong background in psychology, I understand child development and what helps children succeed. I create a safe, nurturing, and playful space where your child can be their authentic self.

My Approach:

• Build genuine connection – Using child-centered and person-centered approaches to establish trust through empathy, respect, and authentic relationships
• Develop practical skills – Incorporating CBT techniques to help children understand their feelings, build confidence, and navigate challenges with resilience
• Discover strengths – Helping each child recognize their unique abilities and develop emotional well-being through play and connection
• Parent consultations – Supporting families with tools and strategies to continue growth at home

What Makes Me Different: My combination of nanny experience, Sunday School leadership, and psychology background gives me practical insight into how children learn and grow in different environments.

Specialized Support For:

• Children of all ages struggling with big emotions and emotional regulation
• Kids dealing with confidence and self-esteem issues
• Children facing life transitions and overwhelming challenges
• Play-based therapeutic approaches for emotional well-being

Paige Kieltyka is under the clinical supervision & direction of Crissy Himelstein, MA, LPC, CPCS, RPTS.

“I believe every child deserves to feel seen, supported, and empowered. I’m honored to walk alongside your family as we discover your child’s strengths together.” – Paige
