Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
Boy is parenting hard! Tough love is always tougher on the parent than the child. I have been teaching parenting classes and working with parent for over 24 years. I listen to parents describe their children and their unique situation and collect the data to inform the suggestions I give them. Children need boundaries so they can test them and know they are safe and loved. They also need consequences to motivate them to learn and grow. All parents want to launch successful secure independent young adults so I teach parents how to implement early interventions to meet that goal.

Dr. Brian Weir
Psychologist, PsyD
Each kid is so different. What works for one, may be a fraughtful approach with another. I can help you to understand your child (or adult child) better, and find better ways to work with and relate to them. When we run out of ideas, we often try to accomplish things with power. This likely ends in a power struggle characterized by defiance and escalation only to expose that we don't have that much power after all. There are better ways to communicate. Our models of parenting are often outdated and what we learned may actually make things more difficult. I will help you to identify what works best for you child and support you and your needs in the process.

Allison Freeman
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHCA
As a parenting coach and therapist specializing in supporting families with intense or high-energy children, my approach is rooted in understanding and empowering both parents and children. In our sessions, I create a collaborative and non-judgmental space where parents can explore effective strategies for nurturing their child's unique temperament.
Together, we work to identify the strengths and challenges of intense children, recognizing that their energy and enthusiasm can be channeled into positive outlets. I provide guidance on fostering a supportive home environment that encourages self-expression, emotional regulation, and effective communication.
My focus is on equipping parents with practical tools to navigate the intensity, including setting clear boundaries, implementing consistent routines, and promoting healthy outlets for energy. We discuss effective communication techniques that foster understanding and connection between parents and their intense children.
Throughout the coaching process, I aim to empower parents to embrace and celebrate their child's intensity while finding strategies to manage challenging behaviors. By fostering a harmonious and supportive family dynamic, the goal is to create an environment where both parents and intense children can thrive and build strong, positive relationships.
