You are an exceptional parent.
That’s why you’re here.
You are the expert on your child,
and you know that sometimes children need extra support.
That’s why we’re here.
Your child is experiencing a whirlwind of negative emotions, triggered by “anything and everything”. It’s difficult to even keep track anymore.
One minute they seem to be happy. The next minute they’re having a meltdown.
The cause of the meltdown, however big or small, isn’t the problem. How they handle these situations is the real issue.
As parents, you wish you could remove every barrier throughout your child’s life so that they never have to encounter anything that causes them to feel upset.
But the truth is, you can’t. Your child will have to hear the word “no” throughout their life. They will have to follow rules that aren’t fun. They’ll have to experience situations that don’t seem fair. They won’t always get their way, and they won’t win every game.
I get it! No one likes these experiences, but if everyone had a meltdown every time we encountered them, imagine what the world would look like. Let’s teach your child some ways to handle them early-on.
Anxiety and sadness may also cause your child to avoid necessary tasks like going to school, spending time with family, or doing their chores.
Managing and communicating negative emotions is difficult for a child. Their natural response to these feelings may be to scream in anger, throw a tantrum or ignore everyone in tearful silence.
Here’s the good news.
No child is “born with” the tools to manage their emotions, but these skills can be easily learned!
Throughout this journey, your child will begin using their words to communicate their feelings and using their coping skills to regulate their emotions.
You will learn ways to help your child when they’re upset and techniques to manage their behaviors.
Like most parents, you’re not sure where to begin.
I will be your expert guide throughout the whole process- from the first phone call to the final therapy session.
Again, you are the expert, so let’s work together to find a successful treatment path for your child.

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 20 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.
