​I need new parenting tools
Your teen is struggling and you are trying to keep things from getting worse. Your child might currently be working with a counselor, psychologist or psychiatrist. Relationships are strained. Things at home are stressful. What other steps can you take to support yourself and your child?

​This is where PARENT COACHING can help. Parent coaching will offer you new perspectives, insights and tools such as:
  • Parenting with intention rather than by default
  • Holding boundaries with consistent follow-through
  • Learning new ways of communicating that break stuck patterns of action and reaction
  • Taking better care of yourself
  • Finding joy in the relationship with your teen or young adult
  • Deepening connection
  • Taming your reactivity
  • Helping things go right

There are behaviors that are scaring me and I don't know what to do
(*If your child is in immediate danger to self or others, call 911.)

​You have tried everything you know to do. Your family is tired and overwhelmed. It might be time for your child to go to some sort of residential treatment program.


This is where THERAPEUTIC CONSULTING can help. A Therapeutic Consultant regularly tours and evaluates Wilderness Programs, Residential Treatment Centers and Therapeutic Boarding Schools across the country. A consultant will:
  • Help you navigate the complex world of therapeutic options

  • Coordinate professionals
  • Arrange for safe transport when needed
  • Educate you about financial options

My child is returning home after treatment
You have invested a lot in treatment. Your child will be returning home soon and you don't want to fall back into old, unhealthy patterns. You want to do your best to ensure all of the therapeutic gains are maintained and keep your entire family on a positive and healing trajectory.

This is where FAMILY COACHING can help. We use a well developed and time tested curriculum specifically designed for transitioning kids home from treatment.  Family Coaching will:
  • Prepare you for what to expect as your child learns to live at home again
  • Help in coordinating local mental health professionals that will be an important part of your child's on-going care
  • Establishing new and healthy family relationships as a teen or young adult is returning from a wilderness program or residential therapy
  • Help the entire family to communicate more effectively
  • Establish a well thought-out plan for setting and holding boundaries consistently and lovingly
  • Help in coordinating local school options and support​



If this sounds like you, call or email us. We can help.

It is never too late to heal relationships and change your family trajectory.
