We provide evidence-based coaching to support caregivers in developing the skills to support the unique needs of your children and promote healthy, secure attachment.

Parent coaching is helpful for those entering parenthood for the first time, those who are struggling with managing behaviors at home, or those who have tried online courses but are needing more tailored guidance.

Sometimes as parents, we just aren’t sure what to do or where to begin. Or life has thrown us a curveball, and we need a little help knowing how best to navigate it. In Family Guidance sessions, a therapist will hear more about what’s going on in your family and make specific recommendations about next steps. Family guidance can be helpful when:

• Your family is navigating a change or transition like a move, new baby or sibling, school or family change

• Your family is navigating something challenging like divorce, illness, addiction, death/loss, crisis

• Your child is struggling and you’re not sure what step to take

• You’re wanting more guidance in navigating a particular parenting challenge, tricky conversation, or developmental stage

Family Guidance sessions are short-term, solution focused support for caregivers. You will walk away with a plan including recommendations on specific things to do at home, scripts on what to say, referrals for types of therapy and providers who may be helpful, and/or specific activities or social support to consider.

Caring for children from hard places requires different skills, and this transition affects the entire family! Our team is uniquely trained and equipped to support your family at every stage of the process as you consider and enter into foster care or adoption. We offer:

• support in discerning the right step for your family, including knowledgeable guidance about things to consider when exploring foster care, kinship care, and all types of adoption

• support for families to prepare and cope during the wait for a match

• Trauma-informed, evidence-based parent coaching and support utilizing Trust-Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI®), a best practice for caring for children with trauma

• Navigating complicated relationships between biological and foster/adoptive families
