Each session starts and ends with a mindfulness activity. I'll have some options ready, but you choose what resonates. They can be short or as long as you like. During the session, we focus on your needs and interests. Games, movement, and family activities get new ideas flowing. I also offer support with General Education, Special Education, and Regional Center services. If you get overwhelmed without more guidance, I’m happy to give longer weekly activities. I might ask about that option if you are flustered or get upset making decisions. Family therapy sessions are a bit more structured than individual ones. Remember, you're not alone in this journey. Your family deserves to be celebrated!
