At Flourishing Families we use our expert knowledge about the science of behavior and communication dynamics to help your kids flourish! Our service is an unparalleled and incredibly unique form of behavioral support.

First, you'll learn our Seven Super Secrets for Better Behavior FAST. But...

We don't just plant the seeds:

We will move you from fertilization to growth and stay until everyone is flourishing!  

Next, we custom develop and show you how to implement a plan for the specialized needs of your goals. 

 Our plans incorporate Applied Behavioral Analysis, Organizational approaches to group dynamics, Family Structural and Communication Theories along with mindfulness, biofeedback and self/other awareness practices to transform the way any child responds to their immediate environment and those in it.  

Moving your family from STRUGGLES and STRESS to celebrating SUCCESS!

Here, at Flourishing Families, we believe it takes a village to raise a healthy, happy, vibrant child. With this in mind, we specialize in a holisitc approach and provide support for:

• Parents/Foster Parents
• Kinship Providers
• Caregivers 
• Educators
• Daycares & Pre-schools
• Sports Team Coaches
• any program serving child needs

Coaching typically lasts 8-16 sessions, with one or two sessions weekly. While I do have some families that ask for ongoing support, I regularly see progress toward initial goals within four weeks.

My individual sessions last 1 hour 20 minutes - 20-30 minutes longer than typical coaching sessions. Over the years I noticed the extra time helps my families and I get one or two HOURS worth of work done! This ensures we get most out of sessions and get to goal accomplishment faster.

Coaching and therapy, while having some similarities, are quite different.

While psychotherapy often focuses on discovering the root cause of many thoughts and feelings, coaching focuses on the client's defined targeted goals (i.e. building closeness, increasing cooperation, reducing tantrums, managing emotions in a healthier way, etc) then specifically teaches everyone in the environment skills related to anger management, mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, organization, et cetera to accomplish set goals. 

Coaching with Flourishing Families is sort of like what you see on the TV show Supernanny, only with more of a in-depth and skill building focus.

First, we draw out & build upon your home, class or team's existing strengths. Next well will help you take it to the next level by teaching new strategies for dealing with your targeted goals. Goal success typically happens much faster than in therapy, although our Success Coaching and psychotherapy often complement eachother nicely.
