The Phoenix Pathway —
Rising Strong, Healing Together.
The only person who can heal me is myself.
The only way I can do that is in community.
Our Approach
Parenting is hard. We get it.
And we also get that with your kiddos, there is so much more.
So many more complications, appointments, questions, challenges, hurdles, unknowns, curveballs, fears.
We see your loneliness and frustration.
We see your overwhelm.
We see the sleepless nights.
We see the anxiety, the depression, the despair.
We see you trying to fit into systems that were not designed for your family, and those same systems failing you, over and over again.
And we’re here to tell you that —
…You’re not alone.
…You’re good enough.
…You’re doing your very best.
…We know it’s messy and awful, and we love you anyway.
What Makes Us Different?
We believe you!
We believe your experience.
We believe that you are a good human, trying to do your best every day.
We don’t have your answers, but we have the skills and tools to help you find your own answers.
The ones that fit the needs of everyone in your family.
(And we know, that you know, meeting everyone’s needs is easier said than done!)
How Do We Work?
We sit next to you.
We aren’t on a podium in front of you, lecturing, playing the expert and looking down at you.
We aren’t peering over our glasses, jotting notes so we can best articulate just how terribly wrong you are.
Instead, we are right there next to you, believing in you.
Individualized support means just that.
You know your unique family and situation better than anyone else. We help give you the breathing room to be the captain of your own healing ship.
We help you connect into your own wisdom; we help you figure out what tools and steps are right for in this moment…and the next…and the next.
When you eke out a victory no one else in your life understands, we stand up and cheer for you!
And during those times when everything is just awful, we cook for you and hug you and laugh at what a mess being a human can be.
No matter what the ups and downs, we’re here for you.
For those of us in the foster, adoption, & disability community, we know that being a phoenix and rising from the ashes isn’t a one time thing. It’s a process we go through, borne of choices we make, over and over and over again.
are the person who can heal you.
