Mission Statement: Through the knowledge gained from neuroscience, attachment, trauma and healthy family research and practice, Inner Guidance is dedicated to helping children heal. We do this by providing parents and caregivers the tools necessary to meet the needs of the emotionally distressed youth. Our purpose is to help children and their families learn to connect through authentic relationships.

Read Parent Testimony ……..”We were told by our doctor we would not be able to have any more children”…..

Neuroscience teaches us that the brain changes in relation to others, not in isolation.

Attachment Healing Center provides relationship centered therapeutic treatment based on a foundation of the latest neuroscience research. Our goal is to provide the child with an experience of being held in the heart and mind of a caring adult in order to facilitate healing. We are committed to transferring this experience to the parents during the treatment process and working with the child until it is clinically determined that treatment is complete. Through this sharing and connecting with a safe, secure and nurturing adult, the child learns to trust. It is only through this trust that children can begin to let adults take care of them.

Most people say children with attachment issues don’t get better.

Our Wall of Stars demonstrates a different story.

A little over a year ago we decided to honor all those children who work very hard at learning to trust their adult caregivers by having them complete a Star. Each child decorates a star that symbolizes their journey of coming out of the darkness of feeling all alone and into the light of experiencing being cared for, loved and nurtured by a caring adult. At our Friday all staff gathering we have a ceremony where we pass any new completed star around the circle and each clinician holds the star and sends a prayer and a wish for that particular child’s continued progress, joy and unique expression of who they are. When new clients arrive, both the parents and the child tell us that seeing that wall gives them hope. Knowing that other children and families have made it through instills a bit of belief that they too can make it to the finish line.
