Your monthly news and resources to help you stay connected, get inspired, and have more confidence as a family.

Hi families, how are you holding up?
​
It's November, it's getting colder, election is in full swing, and many families are experiencing both celebrations and also a buildup of fall stressors and holiday anxiety.

Navigating the these months comes with anxiety, expectations, guilt, or even grief, especially if you're part of a neurodivergent family, dealing with mental health concerns, changes in your family unit, or you are part of a marginalized group.

We are here to help--please don't hesitate to reach out to us for support this time of year.

On that note, here are some news and supports to brighten your week:

Introducing Jenn, our Walk and Talk Therapist for Parents!

👍 Wait a therapist who helps parents by getting us outside, moving our bodies, AND processing the unique stressors that come with parenting? YES PLEASE! We are thrilled to introduce Jenn Mohn to all of you! Jenn will be providing nature-based walk and talk therapy to parents at the THPRD Nature trails in Beaverton!

Jenn believes that all clients can heal and grow within safe, connected, and healthy relationships. When working with Jenn, clients will be supported by nature and movement and will be empowered to tap into their strengths and inner wisdom to learn how to live a more resilient, authentic life.

Currently, Jenn uses a client-centered, strengths-based, walk-and-talk therapy approach with her individual adult clients, meaning that sessions are most often held outside while walking together on a local nature trail. Being in nature is scientifically proven to reduce stress, increase emotional regulation, and promotes a sense of awe and well-being.

Speaking of Nature, Meet Bonnie Davey, the creator behind our lovely nature-based play therapy space!

Research is continually highlighting the benefits of children’s contact with nature. Some of these benefits include:

• Increased self-regulation
• Improved academic performance with enhanced memory and attention
• Positive social developmental interactions
• Positive behavioral changes
• Increase in cognitive and emotional mental health
• Increased imagination and creativity.

Issues that can be supported with NBCCPT include ADHD, depression, anxiety, sensory processing differences, trauma, social/emotional support, adjustment difficulties, and dysregulation.

Bonnie has a select number of nature-based and in-clinic openings Wednesdays and Thursdays before 2:00, for kids ages 3-7
