Family Therapy with Caregiver and Child

  • Through a relational approach we build on the innate capabilities of the caregiver by addressing underlying causes and not just treating the symptoms. We hold in mind the caregiver’s history and their needs as we look together at the young child’s perspective and needs. 

  • We meet families where they’re are at and support caregivers and children in their development and relationship satisfaction.

  • Collaborating with the child’s other care providers is important to us. We will consult with your child’s teacher or child care providers, medical providers, and other family support services that might be in place.

  • Play based approaches are used to increase joy, nurturing, structure, communication,and engagement while addressingany traumatic experiences.
