What if we told you we had Needohs before they were cool… 🤣

Hallelujah for the moments we almost miss 🩵

It’s easy to overlook these shifts when you’re in the middle of parenting it all, but this is the work.

This is what it looks like when parenting (& therapy) is working.

Not perfect.
Not linear.
But building safety, connection, and skills that last.

Tiny wins = big healing. Hallelujah.

It’s not all fun & games at PLIM… or is it? 🤣

Okay okay… we know we’ve been a little quiet over here 👀

But that’s because we’ve been building some really good things behind the scenes.

Starting with THIS:

✨ Welcome Bree Johnson, MSW, LCSWA ✨

Bree works with children 3+, adolescents, parents & families and specializes in trauma treatment using TF-CBT. She also has a heart for helping families navigate conflict, big emotions, and communication struggles, and she does it with so much warmth and compassion.
We are SO excited she’s here!

If you’ve been waiting for an opening, this is your sign because her schedule will fill quickly!

More goodness coming soon ❤️

We’re not bragging…just documenting the catch 🤣

Snow days call for extra coziness, hot chocolate, and a little flexibility! ❄️

Out of an abundance of caution for our families and clinicians, all sessions scheduled Monday 2/2 will be held virtually due to snowy road conditions. Your therapist will still be meeting with you at your scheduled time! We will be in touch regarding sessions later in the week.

For parents of younger clients or in situations where virtual may not be the best fit for your child, your therapist will plan to use this time as a parent session instead.

Stay safe & warm, and enjoy a little snow magic if you can. Beans highly recommends it! 🐶🐾❄️

Sometimes the most meaningful Valentine’s gifts aren’t candy or cards; they’re words.

This simple heart activity shared by our amazing therapist Heidi Esparrago-Zeppelin, LCSW is a way to slow down, connect, and let your child hear (over and over again) what you see and love about them.

When kids consistently hear affirming words from the people they’re attached to, it helps shape their inner voice, emotional safety, and sense of worth. No perfection needed, just your presence!

Save this, try it, and watch the connection grow 💗

❄️ Weather Check-In ❄️

We’re keeping a close eye on the forecast! At this time, we are not expecting any schedule changes for our area.

If anything shifts, we’ll share updates here and reach out directly!

Sending lots of thoughts & prayers to our friends and families in the more severe path of Winter Storm Fern. Stay safe and cozy!
