Who We Are
Klein Family Counseling is a growing private practice located in Bartlett, TN that was started by Jeff and Mandy Klein. Jeff is a Lieutenant with the Memphis Police Department and Mandy is a career Social Worker. They are the parents of a very diverse blended family.
After seeing the need in the community for early intervention services they decided to open this practice in hopes that many younger children will get treatment, more families will not feel so defeated, and the community overall will be more successful.
In June of 2018, Klein Family Counseling was established with one room in a convenient location in Bartlett, TN, with Mandy Klein treating patients on a part-time basis. Over the last year we have been blessed with several therapists that share our passion and drive to help our community. Our office space continues to grow with unique and diverse treatment options and services.
Treatment & Services
Play Therapy
Children’s natural language is play. Play is their language and toys are their words. Sometimes children display signs and symptoms of emotional distress. Unlike adults they are not able to verbally process those feelings. In play therapy they are able to work on their problems and alleviate the symptoms.
Sand Tray Therapy
Sand Tray provides a powerful therapuetic medium. It is a technique which can be used to facilitate healing in adults, adolescents, and children allowing them to express their thoughts and feelings when words are not enough.
Co-Parenting Support
Even the most reasonable parents are under an incredible amount of stress during a separation or divorce. Having a safe place and a safe person to mediate discussions can be helpful and the first step towards positive communications for the future.
Adolescent Counseling
Teens face a host of challenges through the transition from child to adult. The barriers they encounter may be from past or present, and they could have difficulty communicating with a parent. Therapy can provide a way to help develop better coping and problem solving skills in order to bridge the gap of communication.
Supervision & Training
Mandy Klein provides both individual and group supervision for individuals who wish to become Registered Play Therapists. Supervision can be done face-to-face, via phone, or through video conferencing. Mandy Klein also can provide LCSW Supervision for Social Workers who are in the process of obtaining their LCSW in Arkansas or Tennessee.

Mediation
Mediation is a dynamic, structured, interactive process where a neutral third party assists disputing parties in resolving conflict through the use of specialized communication and negotiation techniques. All participants in mediation are encouraged to actively participate in the process. Mediation is a "party-centered" process in that it is focused primarily upon the needs, rights, and interests of the parties. The mediator uses a wide variety of techniques to guide the process in a constructive direction and to help the parties find their optimal solution.
