Therapeutic Frameworks
Interpersonal Neurobiology
(Dan Siegel)​
At Balancing Nurture, the scientific lens we view the world and subsequently therapy is Interpersonal Neurobiology (INPB). INPB is a term coined by Dr. Dan Siegel, whose work influences how we see the world, families, and relationships. Interpersonal Neurobiology studies the relationships between how an individual’s brain, mind and relationships interrelate to shape how we see and interact with the world.​

Attachment, Self-Regulation and Competency Therapy (ARC)
ARC is a framework for intervention with youth and families who have experienced multiple and/or prolonged traumatic stress. ARC identifies three core domains that are frequently impacted among traumatized youth, and which are relevant to future resiliency. Designed to be applied flexibly across child- and family-serving systems, ARC provides a theoretical framework, core principles of intervention, and a guiding structure for providers. ARC is designed for youth from early childhood to adolescence and their caregivers or caregiving systems.A growing research base suggests that ARC leads to reduction in child posttraumatic stress symptoms and general mental health symptoms, as well as increased adaptive and social skills. Caregivers report reduced distress and view their children’s behaviors as less dysfunctional.

Attachment Framework
Attachment therapy is a supportive approach that helps you understand how your early relationships may influence how you connect with others and feel about yourself. It focuses on creating a safe, trusting space where you can explore patterns that may leave you feeling anxious, disconnected, or misunderstood.
Through this work, you can learn to feel more seen and understood, build stronger connections, and respond to life and relationships with greater confidence, safety, and ease.
