For the kids we serve and the kids still living inside us

The Adventures of Charleston, a warm, tender-hearted children’s book series created for kids and kids-at-heart, no matter your age.

Charleston’s stories gently explore big feelings in small, approachable ways. Inviting readers into worlds where curiosity is encouraged, differences are honored, empathy is practiced, and being yourself is more than enough. These are stories that don’t rush to fix, label, or correct. They pause. They notice. They wonder.

For therapists, caregivers, and helpers, The Adventures of Charleston offers:
•A soft entry point for conversations about emotions and identity
•Language that supports emotional literacy and nervous system safety
•Stories that normalize feeling different, uncertain, or tender
•A reminder that growth often comes through compassion, not pressure

What makes these books even more meaningful is that my husband, the most gentle man I’ve known with a golden heart, wrote and illustrated The Adventures of Charleston. Inspired by his own experiences and those we love dearly. Witnessing the evolution of something magical and purposeful has been a true joy.

Whether you’re reading aloud with a child, sharing a moment of connection in session, or quietly reading for your own inner child, Charleston meets you with warmth, humor, and heart.

📚 The Adventures of Charleston for every age, every heart, and every part that longs to be understood.

Books can be found on Amazon, Barnes & Noble Online, or purchased locally.

It’s been a minute. Good morning, Early Risers Club. Waking up early (I mean unintentionally early, early) and feeling alert doesn’t always and only mean stress or poor sleep. Sometimes it’s your nervous system shifting, your mind processing, or your body finding a new rhythm. Instead of trying to force sleep, try listening. Gentle movement, quiet reflection, or a slow start can be just as regulating as sleep.
Some wake-up calls are invitations.

We’re not sure when service will be restored, but until then:
✨ Email, website and patient portals are your friends
✨ Carrier pigeons will be considered on a case-by-case basis

Thanks for your patience while we practice radical acceptance.
