About Rita
Rita Stevermer, LPC, RPT
I'm Rita, a Licensed Professional Counselor, Registered Play Therapist, and the owner of Ladybug Counseling.
I take an integrated approach, utilizing multiple therapeutic modalities to tailor each treatment plan to the unique needs of each client. It is my honor to guide my clients in developing a greater openness and access to all that is within them.
My goal is to help children and teens cultivate well-being.
I am passionate about working with youth and empowering them to experience emotional health. The earlier the intervention, the less work it takes to create change.
In my practice, you won't find any emotional band-aids. I greatly value the process of equipping you for greater awareness, increased insight, and deep healing for lasting change.
Together, we can pave a road for healing that focuses on what you need most.
