“Resilience embraces the ability of a child to deal more effectively with stress and pressure, to cope with everyday challenges, to bounce back from disappointments, adversity, and trauma, to develop clear and realistic goals, to solve problems, to relate comfortably with others, and to treat oneself and others with respect.”

Promoting Healthy Growth & Development
Early intervention provides the opportunity to help nurture, strengthen, and improve children’s developmental pathways in life. Nurture & Thrive is a psychotherapy practice specializing in early intervention supports and helping young children who are struggling with emotional and behavioral challenges. Alisa Dashefsky, Ed.M., LCSW, a child clinician who is also the founder of Nurture & Thrive, utilizes effective, research-based methods, and interventions to help young children enhance their coping repertoires, promote healing and resiliency, and improve self-regulation.
It Takes a Village to Raise a Child
Your child’s growth and development are precious. In partnership with you, Alisa creates caring and compassionate connections with each family to help understand your child’s strengths and challenges as well as all of the joys and struggles you experience as a parent. Navigating parenting, promoting young children’s healthy growth and development, and fostering resilient mindsets in children can be difficult at times, but you are not alone. As the African proverb teaches us, “It Takes a Village to Raise a Child,” so together we can help nurture children and help them thrive.
Helping to Nurture Young Children, So They Can Thrive
All children are special and unique and possess individualized gifts and strengths in which they share with the world. While there are so many incredible joys of parenting and raising children, there can be many challenges along the journey too. An essential part of the treatment process in helping young children thrive is partnering with parents and caregivers throughout the journey. Alisa partners with each family to design and create a course of treatment that is tailored to address specific needs and helps support and optimize children’s continued developmental growth and progress.
“Enter into children’s play and you will find the place where their minds, hearts and souls meet.”
