FAQ's

How is this different from talk therapy/counseling, occupational therapy, or play therapy?

  • Talk therapy/counseling relies primarily on verbal processing. Many children do not yet have the developmental foundation for that work alone.
  • Occupational therapy can be helpful, but may focus on isolated skills without enough relational integration.
  • Play therapy is often child-led and insight-oriented. While valuable, change often takes longer, and parents are not part of the process. 

This work is movement-based, relational developmental work. “Somatic” simply means body-based — we address growth through movement and regulation before relying on verbal processing alone. IWe focus on building capacity, not simply reducing symptoms, because change happens in relationship --- not in isolation.

Sessions are active and focused. The core of the work includes:
  • Foundational movement
  • Purposeful, therapist-guided play
  • Parent participation and support
  • Consent-based therapeutic touch
  • Clear developmental progression

Conversation supports the process. Movement leads. 

What ages do you serve?

I primarily work with children ages 4–12.
Teen sessions are available by consultation.

Do parents attend sessions?

Yes.
Parents participate fully — not in the waiting room, but in the process.
Children regulate more effectively when the adults around them are steady and involved. Change lasts when parents understand what to do at home.

What challenges is this best suited for?

Families often seek this work when a child is:
  • Experiencing frequent meltdowns
  • Shutting down or withdrawing
  • Struggling with focus or attention
  • Rigid or easily frustrated
  • Sensitive to sensory input
  • Acting out or aggressive
  • Anxious or lacking confidence
  • Having difficulty with coordination or motor planning
  • Impacted by early trauma or developmental stress

If you’re unsure whether this program is a fit, a consultation will help clarify next steps.

What happens after the ten sessions?

Some families feel complete.
Others choose follow-up sessions or periodic check-ins to continue building on the foundation established during the program.
We determine next steps together.

Is the Developmental Foundations Program™ covered by insurance?

No this is all self-pay.
This allows for:
  • Individualized care
  • Parent-inclusive sessions
  • Development-focused work rather than diagnosis-driven treatment
  • A contained seven-week process with clear progression
  • Long-term resilience building rather than symptom management

Insurance models prioritize diagnosis and symptom treatment.
The full investment for the Developmental Foundations Program™ is $2,450. HSA cards are accepted.
