Age appropriate one-on-one parenting is available upon request. We enroll co-parents into separate groups to promote full participation and self-reflection. Attending with a partner is encouraged, but not required.

Inner Space

When separation, divorce or other disturbances occur, parents may feel overwhelmed and the needs of children may go unnoticed. Parents may feel that they don't know how to help their children during these times. This is a developmentally appropriate group experience designed to help children ages 5-6, 7-9, 10-12 & 13-14 navigate these difficult times. 10-12 weeks expressive arts-based therapeutic group facilitated by licensed and intern level therapists.
