Brittany Ryan-Berzins
Psychologist, PhD
My approach to parent coaching combines evidence-based behavior therapy with a compassionate, collaborative understanding of children’s behavior. Drawing on the principles of Ross Greene’s Collaborative & Proactive Solutions model, I help parents look beyond challenging behaviors to understand the underlying skills and unmet needs that may be contributing to them. We work together to identify realistic expectations, recognize when a child may be struggling with flexibility, frustration tolerance, emotional regulation, or problem-solving, and adjust demands accordingly. At the same time, I help parents develop clear, consistent behavioral strategies that encourage positive change while preserving connection and trust. Parenting can be deeply rewarding, but it can also bring moments of frustration, doubt, and self-criticism. My goal is to help parents replace the question, “How do I get my child to behave?” with a more compassionate and productive one: “What is getting in the way, and how can we solve this together?” Through greater understanding, practical tools, and a collaborative approach, parents can feel more confident and children can develop the skills they need to thrive.
