EVERY CHILD IS UNIQUE AND HAS SOMETHING SPECIAL TO SHARE WITH THE WORLD.
Children and Adolescents
Approach
Rather than coming from the mindset that your child needs to be fixed or changed, our work together uses a thoughtful approach that focuses on helping your child feel empowered to express their true self and realize their unique potential.
If your child is just beginning their educational journey, integrative educational therapy will help your child establish a foundation grounded in overall well-being. If you have already tried many options, and feel stuck, or your child is experiencing school success, but has been negatively been affected by years of limiting labels, time-consuming interventions, and feeling misunderstood, my passion is to help you get to the root cause so that your child or adolescent can restore balance, confidence, and self-worth, while living in greater alignment with their true nature.
Using the latest in neuroscience combined with a multidimensional perspective, Kim provides children, adolescents, and their families with a highly personalized approach that uncovers overlooked elements so that your child can bring forth their many gifts, passions, and intrinsic motivation to live the life they are here to express.
How to Begin
INTAKE SESSION
Upon receipt of intake forms, we begin with a 50-minute parent consultation to discuss your child’s needs, address questions and concerns, gather input, and provide an understanding of my practice. and determine how to proceed in our work together
PERSONALIZED PLANS
After our intake meeting, we schedule another session to go over your personalized plan. Every plan is customized for each child and family, and is designed to help your child set a foundation for lifelong well-being or restore balance and rebuild your child’s sense of self.
SESSIONS
If we choose to continue a more comprehensive plan in our work together, we will proceed with weekly or bi-weekly private sessions. Each online session is 60 minutes in length. Ongoing parent support is an important factor to set a foundation that supports you, your child, and your family.
one-to-one private sessionsPlease note: There is currently a wait list for ongoing integrative educational therapy services; however, private sessions are available.
-
Connection
We begin our time together building connection in an environment in which your child feels safe to be themselves — the precursor to learning, motivation, and inspiration.
-
Individualized Plans
Every session is unique and designed for the specific needs of your child. They will develop an understanding of their strengths, interests, talents, and traits, while experiencing a safe space to explore areas of challenge.
-
Educational Support
My goal is to help your child embrace their unique learning style, discover the many capabilities hidden under labels of disability, while providing guidance on the tools and resources that will support their learning experience to be one of greater joy and inspiration.
-
Unique Abilities
Many children and adolescents have different expressions of intelligence, sensitivities, and developmental timeframes that rarely correlate to age/grade based norms. With this understanding we build a bridge to the hidden capabilities often masked as learning disabilities, and utilize pioneering teachings that support their overall learning experience.
-
Inner Wisdom
Together, your child and I go beyond an education for the mind, to access their heart and inner wisdom. They learn tools to support heightened sensitivities (i.e.,.energetic awareness, empathy, accelerated intuition, sensory sensitivities), develop healthy boundaries, and build resilience and trust in their capacity to navigate their life.
-
True Self
When education is utilized to support your child’s natural expression, the result is a genuine sense of well-being and wholeness rather than a life based on achievement for the sake of external approval.
They naturally feel motivated and inspired to freely explore, learn, and master what truly brings them a sense of joy and fulfillment.
From this foundation, your child is in a better position to experience a life based on intrinsic worth and an experience of love and peace that comes from the effortless expression of sharing their true self.
