Welcome to Nurturing Playful Minds, where we are dedicated to nurturing the emotional well-being of children through compassionate, evidence-based support. Our unique approach combines the power of play with the strength of secure relationships, grounded in both play-based and attachment-focused practices. We specialize in providing training and resources for clinicians who are passionate about supporting child mental health in developmentally appropriate, relationally attuned ways. Through professional education, access to online and in-person trainings, creatively developed resources, and a commitment to quality support of clinicians and parents, we help clinicians and caregivers build the skills and confidence needed to support children and families with empathy, effectiveness, and heart.

The Chronic Pain Playbook
Drawing on twenty years of clinical experience and close collaboration with children and families, Jamie and Jessica present a robust, research-informed framework that integrates attachment theory with play-based methodologies. Their developmentally informed approach equips clinicians with practical strategies to address chronic pain in children and adolescents within a context that honors each stage of growth.
