WHAT WE DO

Play therapy is a medium for expressing feelings, exploring relationships, describing experiences,  disclosing wishes, and self-fulfillment through PLAY.  This may include toys, games, imaginary play, or sandbox play among other tools.

Circle of Security is a parenting education program to support parents and caregivers in understanding their child's emotional world, how to assist their child in managing emotions, and develop secure attachment between parent and child.

Trauma-informed therapy  

1. Realizes the widespread impact of trauma and understands potential paths for recovery;

2. Recognizes the signs and symptoms of trauma in clients, families, staff, and others involved with the system;

3. Responds by fully integrating knowledge about trauma into policies, procedures, and practices; and

4. Seeks to actively resist re-traumatization."

Attachment-focused therapy  concentrates on strengthening the relationships between child/youth, and parents/caregivers. Often these interventions include family members.

 TBRI® is an attachment-based, trauma-informed intervention that is designed to meet the complex needs of vulnerable children. TBRI® uses Empowering Principles to address physical needs, Connecting Principles for attachment needs, and Correcting Principles to disarm fear-based behaviors. While the intervention is based on years of attachment, sensory processing, and neuroscience research, the heartbeat of TBRI® is connection.
