My name is Emily Bogaev and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I received a Master’s of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Western Carolina University in Asheville, North Carolina. While I have over nine years of experience working with individuals across the developmental lifespan, I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, and their families. During my journey to becoming a counselor, I had the opportunity to work with children and families in both inpatient and outpatient settings. It was during this time that I discovered my passion for working with children and adolescents and helping them find their voice. I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, peer relationships, family dynamics, Autism, and ADHD. I believe that each individual has their own unique story to tell. Due to this, I feel that an individual cannot be defined by their present circumstances, but should instead take into consideration the different pieces of their story as a whole and the pieces that have left to be added. I am grateful to be in a position that allows me to hear clients' stories, walk alongside children and families as they encounter various struggles, and develop new ways to combat and heal from the hardships that they have endured along their journey. Fun facts about me: I love to travel and explore new places! One of my favorite places in the world is Italy. I grew up in a small town in the mountains of Virginia and it is my favorite “Bella Vista” or beautiful view. I am a fan of all things Disney and consider myself a kid at heart! In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, singing, and going for walks with my dog Lily! https://www.bellavistacounseling.com/play-therapy daily 0.75 2025-06-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6222e60d993cf87f15cc25dd/1654407991828-19D5TAETNKNB0YJP457A/GettyImages-1185079019.jpg Play Therapy - Play Therapy As adults, when we feel emotions we are often able to use our words to express to others how we feel. However for children that is often not the case leading to frustration, outward behaviors, fear, and sadness. In play therapy, the worlds universal language of play is utilized to assist children in expressing their emotions in a safe and non-judgmental environment that promotes developmental growth and resolution to underlying conflict. The familiarity of play allows children to express themselves while learning adaptive coping skills to assist with their emotions, appropriate boundaries, and problem solving skills. The play in this modality of therapy can look very different from child to child based on their individual needs but can utilize toys, expressive arts, board games, sand tray, and books to assist children in expressing themselves and their emotions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6222e60d993cf87f15cc25dd/1654396157764-X7IDN22BGVTLD1S9ZRBA/unsplash-image-oUgZVBaGcEQ.jpg Play Therapy - Make it stand out https://www.bellavistacounseling.com/adolescent-therapy daily 0.75 2025-06-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6222e60d993cf87f15cc25dd/1654408372881-H8JZP3ZGM3V29N53EVKZ/GettyImages-1209425898.jpg Adolescent Therapy At Bella Vista Counseling and Wellness, we use a variety of approaches to assist your teen by meeting them where they are at and adapting services to meet their needs.
