Welcome to Roots of Resilience Child and Family Center!

Babies’ brains grow faster in the first few years than at any other time in life. During this critical period, a strong, secure bond with a caregiver and a safe environment shapes their emotional and social development. Infant mental health focuses on helping babies and parents build  this foundation through love, safety, and connection. Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) help inform how  parents and babies are supported through this journey. Through a dyadic approach,  families are supported to understand emotions, heal from stress, and strengthen their attachment—so babies grow up feeling secure, loved, and ready to thrive.

Having a baby is a big life change, and it’s normal for moms to feel overwhelmed. Pregnancy and childbirth bring physical, emotional, and hormonal changes that can affect mood, energy, and daily life. Some moms experience postpartum depression or anxiety, feeling sad, exhausted, or disconnected from their baby. Roots of Resilience CFC seeks to provide a safe, supportive space where moms can talk about their feelings, adjust to these changes, and learn ways to care for their mental health. When moms feel better, their babies and families thrive too!

Kids and teens sometimes have big feelings that are hard to understand. Therapy can help them talk about their emotions, solve problems, and feel better.  Through the use of play, art and mindfulness  kids and teens are encouraged to express themselves in ways that feel natural and safe. Children and teens are supported developing confidence, emotional awareness, and resilience so they can thrive at home, school, and in life.

Hard or scary things happen, but healing is possible. Trauma therapy helps kids, teens, and adults feel safe again. Roots of Resilience CFC sees to provide a safe space for people to heal at their own pace while feeling supported. Informed through perspectives from Post-Traumatic Growth, Narrative Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)- individuals are supported in turning pain into strength and hope for the future. 

Families go through changes, and sometimes it’s hard to talk or understand each other. Family therapy helps parents, kids, and relatives communicate better, solve problems, and feel closer. Whether adjusting to new life changes, healing from conflicts, or just wanting to grow stronger together, we create a safe space for families to reconnect.

Parents struggling with alcohol or drugs deserve support, not shame. Perspectives from Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Substance Use Disorders (DBT-SUD) and Circle of Security (COSP) inform the support provided to parents in managing strong emotions, making healthy choices, and building strong bonds with their children. Roots of Resilience focuses on healing through connection, mindful parenting, and attachment, so families can grow in a safe and loving way.
