This month, we’re excited to highlight Issy, who joined us just before the holidays and has been an incredible addition to our team.

Her warm energy is both calming and motivating, creating a positive environment for both clients and colleagues alike. In her short time with us, Issy has already made a meaningful impact — from building strong connections with clients to stepping in wherever needed to support the team.

We’re lucky to have her, and we can’t wait to see her continue to thrive!

P.S. she IS running the Chicago Marathon in October!! We’re so excited to cheer her on!

Honored and humbled to have spent a week diving into Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI). Allissa was inspired to pursue practitioner training by a few friends who introduced her to the amazing work of Karyn Purvis. While designed for children who’ve experienced trauma, it’s also a framework for which we can show up in all relationships, both professional and personal. & beyond that—a way of being!

Our team is passionate about trauma-wise, relationship based care, and SO excited to add this to the many ways we are able to support families.

For weeks I’ve been talking/exploring/playing with one of my friends using letters. I follow his lead, so some sessions this has looked like 30 minutes and some sessions it has been 1 minute or less. We’ve used play doh, markers, etch-a-sketch, whiteboard and countless mediums. Most of the time I’m the one making letters and he is *lovingly* deconstructing them.

Well this week, we were decorating Halloween cookies and this friend wrote his own name. & gosh I couldn’t have been more proud. No, we didn’t sit at a table for 10 minutes or write the same way every week. We did it at his speed, his interest, and enjoyed the process.

This is where the magic happens ✨

Self-regulation is a very popular topic right now and often used synonymously with a child’s ability to be “calm.”

Self-regulation is developed through many experiences of co-regulation.

So what does co-regulation look like for you and your family?

Have you checked out our most recent blog post?!

Self-regulation has become a bit of a buzz word and is often used synonymously with calm or well-behaved.

Even from an early age, parents are told that their children should be able to soothe themselves.

Contrary to popular belief, self-regulation is not a skill that you learn by talking about it. True self-regulation is developed through many experiences of scaffolded support, or co-regulation.

So how can we tune in to our child’s needs to support their ability to regulate?
