Does any of this sound familiar?….”Tried deep breaths. Tried offering help and comforting. Tried consequences. Nothing is working! I’m not sure what to do or say to help…” These are words we often hear when parents come to us looking for help. You are not alone. Whether we are supporting one through parenting, grief and trauma, just a bit of rough patch, or learning to navigate life with Anxiety, Autism, ADHD, OCD, or Sensory Integration differences, we are here to help you find your way. It is privilege to witness transformation as we join our children and families on their journey towards growth and healing.
At Peace Within, we play, we jump, we draw, we chill, we do ALL the fidgets! We find whatever each individual needs to feel safe and comfortable enough to express themselves fully and be open to growth with evidence based supports. We offer a welcoming space of acceptance for children and families to get the support they need to face life's challenges.
Sometimes, people feel like seeking therapy is admitting there is something "wrong" with their children or their parenting. We see it as the opposite. We all have different brains and bodies and need extra support at times. There is a whole lot "right" about a parent who recognizes that and seeks out the right fit. Reach out and together we can do this!
