At Nurturing Village we believe that…
Parents know their child best
Play is the language of children
There is nothing wrong with your child (or your parenting!)
When we understand children’s nervous systems, we can know how to help them learn, grow, heal, and connect
Nurturing Village
is a family-centered facility where therapists collaborate with parents and guardians to improve the connection and emotional regulation of children
What to expect
At Nurturing Village, we recognize the tremendous strength and courage it takes to walk through the doors of our practice. That being said, we want you to be able to have as much information here to make you feel more comfortable about our potential partnership together.
While each child and family are different, here’s what you can expect during your visit at Nurturing Village:
Typically, the initial visit is a chance to meet with care givers and talk about family history, routines, strengths, and concerns.
The next few sessions are spent getting to know your child, typically through play.
We will then take time, as parent/guardian and therapist TOGETHER, to form goals and talk about “how we’ll get there together.” This is a collaborative process that will provide us a “road map” of where we are going and how we will know when we get there!
After this time, sessions will combine both work with your child and collaborative work as adults – and will depend on the type of services we collectively decide would best meet the needs of your family.
