Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve provided some answers to frequently asked questions related to Peace for Kids, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and more. If you can’t find an answer to your question, feel free to reach out to me using the contact form above.

Does my child need to participate in a club in order for me to join one of the parenting groups?

Yes, in order for you to have access to both the group parent coaching programs and/or the individual parent coaching program, your child needs to be enrolled in a Peace for Kids club. We truly believe that the whole-family model is the best way for supporting your child in the development of their resilience.

Why are only group sessions available for kids?

We offer group sessions for kids because we found that when multiple children participate in the lessons, it fosters a better back-and-forth dialogue about their own experiences and helps them see they are "not alone." Additionally, we wanted to provide a more affordable and accessible option, as we understand that individual therapies can be expensive and wait listed.

Can my child participate in a club without me committing to one of the parent coaching programs?  

While we fully believe that the whole family participating in a program is the best method for success, it is optional for you to join a parent coaching program. At the bare minimum, we recommend you attend the Introduction to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy group coaching program and then decide if you need more support.

How long does my child need to be enrolled in a club to see success?

While there is no definitive answer to this, my recommendation is that you commit to a 6-month period of enrollment before deciding if it is a good fit for your child(ren) and family. The way Peace for Kids Clubs are structured is that the enrolled child(ren) can continue in the program through age 11. Every year they participate, the curriculum grows with them and addresses various age-appropriate needs.

What does it cost?

Each program has a unique associated fee—please fill out the contact form above to receive more information. No commitment is required to fill out the form and receive more information.

Do you accept Insurance?

Unfortunately, not at this time. As such, we are considered an “out of network” provider for most PPO plans. If you have a health benefits policy that provides mental health coverage, you may be entitled to insurance reimbursement for any provided professional services. You may request a super bill at the end of every month to submit to your insurance company if you choose.

Where can I find more information about ACT?

We've gathered a few resources to help you better understand our services.

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a unique empirically based psychological intervention that uses acceptance and mindfulness strategies, together with commitment and behavior change strategies, to increase psychological flexibility. Psychological flexibility means contacting the present moment fully as a conscious human being, and based on what the situation affords, changing or persisting in behavior in the service of chosen values.
  • DNA-V: DNA-V is an evidence-based model that promotes psychological strength, and that values consistent living, vitality, and success. It is designed to help people cope with challenges, stress, and change. DNA-V can be thought of as a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and positive psychology, and is underpinned by contextual behavioral science.
  • Connect Curriculum: Connect is a group curriculum based on the DNA-V model. Research shows that children’s emotional resilience improves when they learn these key skills. DNA-V exercises help children learn to use these skills in relation to how they see themselves and the social world.
