Supportive, Experienced, Curious…
Seeking support for a child who is having a hard time can feel vulnerable for parents and caregivers. I strive to create a space where children are celebrated and supported. Parents can know that I am on their side as we create a plan where their children can feel and act in healthy ways.
My approach combines play-based therapy with kids aged 3-12 and parent support as you navigate “normal hard” situations with your child. I have worked with families for over twenty-five years and bring my rich experience as a parent educator in cooperative preschools for over seventeen years to my work with young children. As a parent myself, I feel incredibly respectful of the hard work parents are doing. While I see you as the ultimate expert on your own child, I also know that outside help is needed and necessary in many situations. I embrace a wide variety of parenting styles and family types.
Together, let’s aim to help your child feel at ease in their body, with their emotions, and in the world around them.
Please note: My therapy services with children are in-person in the Green Lake neighborhood. I am out of network with insurance. Please contact me directly for more information: erinbernau “at” gmail “dot” com.
