Animal Heart Play Therapy
My practice in Longmont offers specialized therapeutic services like play therapy, EMDR, sand tray therapy, and animal-assisted therapy.
Empowering Growth, Healing Hearts
Hi there! I'm Taylor Lofgren Yingling and that's my therapy dog Kya. At Animal Heart Play Therapy, I support children, teens, and young adults through play, creativity, and experiential therapies. Together we explore big feelings like anxiety, anger, grief, and stress in a safe, playful space. My goal is to help young people build coping skills, feel understood, and reconnect with their natural sense of curiosity, confidence, and joy. LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent-affirming care is provided here.
Providing experiential therapies for children, teens, and young adults.
Play Therapy
Play therapy is a form of counseling that uses play to help children communicate feelings, process experiences, and develop healthy coping skills.
EMDR
EMDR is an evidence-based therapy method that helps people process and heal from traumatic memories and distressing experiences.
Animal-Assisted Therapy
Animal-assisted therapy helps improve emotional well-being, reduce stress, and support healing through positive interactions with trained animals.

Starting the Process
01
Let's get in touch! Message me through the contact page, my Psychology Today profile, or directly at taylor@animalheartplaytherapy.com.
02
Once your message is received, I will reach out to schedule a free 25-minute consultation where you can get to know me and ask me any questions you have. This is an important step to make sure you feel like we are good fit before moving forward.
03
If it feels like a good fit, we'll work together to schedule an intake assessment. The intake assessment is where I get to know more in-depth what has been happening and how I can help. We'll dive deeper into symptoms, history, and family dynamics and decide what types of therapeutic approaches would be most beneficial. For children, intake sessions happen without the presence of the child. From the intake, the first therapy session will be scheduled!
*Please note - Due to high demand for therapists in our area, clients often start in an early afternoon slot and are moved to after school slots as they become available.
