Brain 101 with Amy Fortney Parks
Today we’re talking all about the brain!

Many think the brain is growing all the time but in fact it grows in a very hierarchical way. Listen in to learn more about brain development at very crucial stages of life!

“I don’t think we could survive our kid without The Wise Family. Our clinician is so patient and such a compassionate person. She helps our child feel so in control of his body, and us so in control of our parenting.”
— Parent of 6 year old client“Supporting the mental health of the kids and teens in our community is one of the most challenging and also one of the most important jobs anyone could have. And I see your team doing it with both skill and enthusiasm.Our family could not be more fortunate to have found your practice 3 years ago.
Our kids are growing up but we still keep your number on our phone and we know we can reach out to your team if we need it. We tell everyone who asks about the WISE people at The Wise Family.
Thank you for doing what you do for so many people.”—from the parent of two former clients (siblings)

I am a therapist who works with children and adolescents. I really enjoyed listening to your interview on Practice of the Practice. It gave me curbed insight into brain development, a topic that I love to learn about and talk with clients about!
Thank you so much for your feedback, Jamie! I am so glad you enjoyed the podcast. Understanding brain development is a topic I am very passionate about.
