*DOOR SLAM*
Your teen locked themselves in their room again when you attempted to communicate family expectations.
When did this get so hard?
Just yesterday, they were a smiling, happy child. Now, you can’t go a day without a moody outburst.
It’s hard to have a basic conversation, let alone one that goes into the “harder” topics like their friends, grades, or future plans.
This is the question so many parents have, and after sitting down with over 760 teenagers in the therapy room, there is one thing I know for sure:
You don’t have to have all the answers; you just need a genuine desire to love your teen the best way possible and with the right approach.

What if I don’t have time to watch the videos and complete the worksheets?You have lifetime guaranteed access to the program which means you can consume the materials at any time and as often as you want. If you need to take a break at any point, you can always pick it up when you need too. The course is accessible on your phone through a web browser so you can listen to the videos whenever you want.

What if I don't have the money to pay for the course?I totally get that making an invest like this might not be something you are use too. That's why I am offering a payment plan option. In addition, an average parent sending their teen to weekly therapy with me would be $9,000 a year. Spoken as a therapist, I can tell you that the teen coming to therapy is only going to go so far if the parent isn't also willing to do the work as well. I wish more of the parents of my clients started off with taking my $249 course that would have sped the process, solidified long lasting results, and saved them time and money in the long run. The Connected Parent is one of the more economical ways to start changing your relationship with information that actually works.

Wouldn't it be better for me to work with you privately versus take the course?Working with someone privately can be really powerful. I require all my private clients to go through this course first because it is super important to have this foundational knowledge. This course will provide a good base line to getting you prepared to take the next step to working with me or someone else privately.
