Therapeutic Parenting Cohorts

A Group for Learning, Coaching & Support

Do you find yourself spending a lot of time and energy arguing with your child, preteen or teen about homework, personal hygienge, or chores? Or maybe you're trying to figure out how to respond to their struggles with anxiety, OCD, explosive behaviors, self-harm or suicidal ideation? 

I get it!  These are just some of the challenges facing the families I work with. If you're curious about how to get out of the argument cycle and into a more collaborative daily experience, this group learning cohort can help.

I won't tell you to be more consistent in your discipline or bedtime routines, or to use tough love to make them push through. Most families have already tried all these things and more, with little to no success in the long term. It turns out, there is no chart, reward, punishment, or any amount of pushing through that will change their ability to do better.

We're going to look at challenges in a new way, and learn how and why to do things differently.

While all young people's brains and bodies are still growing, some need more specific help from us in order for life to feel more manageable as they learn and grow. Join me to learn how relational neuroscience can help you experience more ease in your relationships and everyday life at home.

This group aims to EMPOWER adults and kids, and end the power-over approach that fails to build healthy relationships skills and life skills.

After the 6-week cohort you can continue to receive support as you grow your skills by joining my bi-monthly parent coaching sessions as needed.

Each week includes a learning session followed by real-life application and discussion.

  • 6 x 1-hour zoom meetings
  • Small group (up to 6 families)
  • Optional individual sessions at reduced rate
  • Optional continued group coaching after cohort ends
