Our Values

Family-friendly

We are flexible around the needs of your baby, other children, and caregivers. 

We will be a team together, but your family is at the head of this team. You make the decisions. You set the goals. You create the progress. We are here to support you as you learn and to celebrate you as you thrive by being transparent, responsive, and collaborative.

 

Evidence-based

We promote information and strategies that are backed by research and data.

While we acknowledge the value of individual stories and the limitations of research, we evaluate and teach your family through evidence-based assessments and interventions. We provide you with the theories and studies so that you can make informed decisions about your family’s care.

 

Inclusive

We welcome individuals of all cultures, abilities, and family types.

We understand that your family’s identity is unique. We practice cultural humility, as we acknowledge that no one understands your family’s culture better than you. We know your family is dynamic and constantly evolving, and we will listen as you share your strengths, needs, and stories. We reflect on our biases and our roles in the systems that oppress others. And we are working hard to learn and change for the good of all.

 

Trauma-informed

We are respectful of the histories of all families.

We understand that trauma is so common that we proactively take steps to use language, interventions, and approaches to lessen the risk of anyone re-experiencing past traumas. The five principles of trauma-informed care–safety, choice, collaboration, trustworthiness, and empowerment–are at the heart of what we do and how we collaborate with your family.

 

Safe

We create an accepting and confidential space to learn.

We will help you protect your family. Your information is secure, and the safeguards in place are continually monitored to ensure that it stays that way. We cultivate curiosity and acceptance in our groups and individual sessions so that you feel free to share as much or as little as you need.
