Small Groups. Meaningful Growth
Groups are led by Shelby Fontaine, LICSW, a licensed clinical social worker who works closely with children and adolescents, including those with autism and other developmental differences. Shelby takes a warm, structured, and play-based approach, creating a space where children can feel safe, supported, and engaged. Through hands-on activities and real-life skill building, she helps kids develop emotional awareness, coping skills, and confidence in navigating social situations. Her work is also shaped by her own lived experience, allowing her to connect with children and families in a genuine and meaningful way.
