Can love alone heal a child’s past experiences? ❤️

For children who have experienced early adversity or loss, a loving home is an important foundation, but healing isn’t always automatic.

As a therapist and adoptive parent, Julianne reminds us that behaviors like rejection, defiance, or difficulty connecting may reflect a child’s need to feel safe, not a lack of love.

Every adoption experience is different. Not all adopted children experience these challenges, and adoption itself isn’t something that needs to be fixed.

💚 Parents need support, too. Seeking guidance doesn’t mean you’re failing. Sometimes, love needs additional support.

📌 Save or share this with a parent who might need this reminder, and follow us for more child and family mental health insights!

We’re so happy to welcome Desney to our Clinical Team 💛

Desney brings experience working with children from birth to age five, an age group she has loved supporting, and is excited to expand her work with older children, teens, and young adults. She enjoys offering creative ways for clients to share their stories, using paper, paint, crayons, toys, and miniature figures to encourage expression.

At IFC, Desney is especially excited to explore play therapy and coach parents in understanding the language their children express through play. She looks forward to learning alongside the IFC team, collaborating with fellow clinicians, and building connections with new clients and families.

Outside of therapy, Desney enjoys experimenting with plant-based recipes, artful doodling, and unwinding with a good mystery show! 🎨

We’re so glad you’re here, Desney! 💛

Why do we take physical pain seriously but hesitate when it comes to our children’s mental health? 🤔💭

When your child has a toothache, you take them to the dentist. 🦷 So why should their mental health be any different?

At IFC, our child and family therapists help families understand the root of their challenges and find personalized strategies to navigate them together. 💛

💛 What holiday traditions help your family remember loved ones you’ve lost?

The holidays can bring up memories, emotions, and the absence of loved ones. Instead of trying to take away your child’s sadness, create space for their feelings and find meaningful ways to honor those they’ve lost. ❤️

✨ Follow us for more therapist-backed parenting tips and child mental health insights!

🎃 What scares your little one the most about Halloween: spooky decorations, costumes, or masks? Tell us in the comments! 👇

Halloween can feel overwhelming for young children, especially when they’re still learning what’s pretend and what’s real.

💛 The goal isn’t to force them to enjoy Halloween. It’s to help them feel safe enough to explore it at their own pace.

Sometimes, small steps like decorating pumpkins together, exploring costumes at home, or simply watching from a distance can make a big difference!

📌 Save this video for the next time Halloween feels a little too spooky!

Looking for more practical tools to navigate your child’s big emotions and everyday challenges? IFC’s Parent Coaching helps parents of children ages 4–10 build strategies they can use in real-life parenting moments.
