About Me:
Lily Ferreira
MSW, LICSW, RPT

While our time together will be focused on you and your child, here’s what most parents want to know:

I graduated from the University of Utah with a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree in 2018.

I’m a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) and have nearly a decade of clinical experience working with children, tweens, and teens. Included in my experience is extensive work with foster and adoptive families navigating concerns related to attachment, identity formation, and grief and loss.

In addition, I pursued 3 years of rigorous and specialized training in play therapy to learn how to work most effectively with children​.

I’m a Registered Play Therapist (RPT) through the Association for Play Therapy.

I’m trained in traditional talk and behavioral therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), positive psychology, and Mind Body Bridging.

I’m married to my high school sweetheart. We have a busy toddler and two spunky cats. We are surrounded by adorable chaos!​

Here’s what most children want to know:
​
​My favorite color is purple and favorite flavor of ice cream is cookie dough. I’m a cat and dog person. I grew up with two older brothers and a sassy little dog named Harry. I can’t wait to meet and learn about you!
