Lacy Theobald, LCSW-S, RPT™
Clinical Specialties
Lacy specializes in working with children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating:
Trauma and PTSD
Anxiety and stress
Depression
Behavioral challenges in children and adolescents
Life adjustments and transitions
Family conflict and communication
Her therapeutic approach draws from an eclectic blend of Play Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy — always delivered through a trauma-informed, strengths-based lens that honors each client’s capacity for healing and growth.
What is Play Therapy?
Play Therapy is a specialized, research-supported therapeutic approach designed for children who process emotions and experiences through play rather than talk. As a Registered Play Therapist™ — a credential held by fewer than 8,000 therapists nationwide — Lacy is trained to use play-based methods to help children express feelings, work through trauma, build coping skills, and develop healthier behaviors in a safe and supportive environment.
Play Therapy is particularly effective for children experiencing anxiety, behavioral challenges, family transitions, grief, and the effects of trauma.
Background & Experience
Before joining PR Taft & Associates, Lacy spent 10 years at Waco Center for Youth, a psychiatric residential treatment facility for adolescents, where she provided direct clinical services and served as Director of Treatment Services for 7 years. She also maintained a private practice in Temple, TX for 4 years.
For the past 10 years, Lacy has provided clinical supervision to Master’s level practitioners, holding supervisor status as an LCSW-S — a credential that reflects both her clinical expertise and her commitment to elevating the standard of mental health care in Central Texas.
Lacy’s Approach
Lacy believes every individual is capable of change and healing, and that the personal strengths needed to get there already exist within each person. Her work is built around empowering, encouraging, and equipping children, adults, and families to move beyond trauma and life’s challenges — toward their fullest potential — through a safe, caring, and trusting therapeutic relationship.
