Mission
Our mission at Affect Integrative Therapy is to partner with families who are ready to be empowered through becoming more aware of their energy.
We are motivated to create family dynamics where family members see their situation more objectively, with greater awareness and with a greater knowledge of child and adolescent development.
Affect Integrative Therapists are here to support the developmental needs of children by fostering a loving environment where the family and therapists work together to come up with a plan that is tailored to meet each child’s specific needs while optimizing the family connection. We believe if parents continue to do what they are doing, they will continue to get what they are getting.
It is our mission to partner with parents to improve the areas that feel troublesome.
Affect Integrative Therapists are here:
- To ask thought provoking questions that will help families explore actions and reactions from a more consciously aware standpoint.
- To help better understand what a child's needs are in a developmentally appropriate manner.
- To help connect families and strengthen communication while eliminating stress and overwhelm.
- To support families by bringing the language, developmental knowledge, and emotional awareness.
How did the Owner/Founder arrive at this mission?
Elizabeth Zoley has learned through being a parent and occupational therapist that children are the greatest teachers. She has found through her own personal experiences the lesson in how children mirror what is modeled to them. Instead of looking to mold a child's behavior through a reinforcement system, she has studied the positive affects of becoming more consciously aware of what she is bringing to the table, shifting her thoughts and feelings accordingly; through using this approach she has seen how it directly influences the child, causing positive changes in the child’s actions and behaviors. She believes that when a parent takes the time to see how their thoughts, feelings, and actions directly impact their child’s behaviors, the behavior and energy of the child shifts correspondingly. Elizabeth has learned that children are great mirrors of consciousness and she now is on a mission to take this awareness and make it into an awareness that every family has.
