Caregiver Support

I am a registered Circle of Security Program facilitator and I ABSOLUTELY adore this evidence-based program. It focuses on using your relationship to CONNECT with your child in order to better understand their behaviours. I have experienced so many beautiful conversations and changes in family dynamics from processing with caregivers through this program.

I am currently offering this program integrated into our therapy sessions to caregivers (individually or as a couple if interested). If you want to learn more about Circle of Security click the icon below to visit their website.
