The program could include:

Homeschool enrichment
Academic tutoring
Social learning groups
Executive functioning support
Hands-on/project-based learning
Regulation-friendly learning environments

We would love your feedback as we explore what families in our community are looking for. This form is simply to gather ideas and interest levels — there is no commitment required.

We are so excited to introduce GrowSEL — a Social Emotional Learning home practice platform Dr. Megan built specifically for the children and families we work with every day.

As play therapists, we kept asking ourselves: what happens to the growth we create in session when kids go home? So we built the answer.

GrowSEL allows therapists to create personalized daily skill plans for children to practice at home with their families — building real emotional skills between sessions, not just during them.

✨ What makes GrowSEL different:
🧠 6 SEL focus areas designed for ages 6-12
🌲 Family skills for siblings and parent-child connection
🎖️ Specialized support for military families
🏡 Support for divorced families
😊 Daily mood check-ins and progress tracking
🏅 Badges and rewards kids actually love
📊 Weekly PDF progress reports for therapists

For $14.99/month Therapists can have up to 30 clients in their dashboard. And for $2.99/month clients can have access to personalized SEL plans and progress tracking in-between sessions.

Therapists invite clients - so ask your therapist about GrowSEL today!

We are continuing to improve and expand the focus areas and skill sections as well!

Pro tip: On your iPhone open GrowSEL in Safari, tap three dots at the bottom, click Share button ↑, and tap ‘Add to Home Screen’ — it works just like a real app!

✨ Big news… we’re growing!

You have trusted us with the most important work there is — supporting the emotional wellbeing of your children and families. Because of that trust, our schedule is consistently full and our waitlist continues to grow.

We believe that when kids get the support they need early, it changes the trajectory of their lives. That’s why we’re exploring opening an additional location so more children and families can access play therapy and mental health services.

But before we make any decisions, we want to hear from you — the community we serve.

If we expanded, where would it help families the most?
