All of you is welcome here… Exactly as you are.
Offering science, tools, connection, and compassion for parents of kids with big, baffling behaviors and vulnerable nervous systems
Do you have a child with a history of trauma, neurodivergence, or other challenges that include big behaviors that confuse and confound you?
Have you tried everything when it comes to parenting your child?
Do you frequently get advice from others (whether well-meaning friends, family or professionals in your community) that simply does not work to shift YOUR child’s behavior, leaving you feeling hopeless, alone and exhausted?
Have you been on a relentless search for answers and parenting interventions from books, podcasts, and a gazillion videos and webinars online, but still feel that the parenting “experts” don’t know what it is like to parent YOUR child, and be in YOUR home?
Are you feeling frustrated and defeated that even though you know what to do, you still struggle to do it when you are faced with your child’s difficult behavior?
All of You is Welcome, LLC is a safe space for you to turn to for 1-on-1 parent coaching, or enrollment in a 12-week LIVE virtual parent course with other parents just like you.
All parent support services are trauma-informed, and provided through the lens of the relational neurosciences, and attachment theory.
Through this revolutionary approach to parenting, we understand behaviors as clues that we see on the OUTSIDE to what’s actually happening INSIDE your child, and remain committed to the truth that your child is a precious, perfectly imperfect human who sometimes struggles.

FAQs
-
While I am a licensed child and family therapist in private practice in 2 states, when you register or schedule services provided by All of You is Welcome, LLC, it is important to note that we are not entering into a therapeutic relationship. Parent coaching does not include a diagnosis or more formal treatment planning. Additionally, while we may explore aspects of your family history and early development in our 1-on-1 parent coaching sessions (always with your consent), the focus of parent coaching work is much more on addressing and collaborating on generating solutions to the present challenges you are facing with your child and in your family, day-to-day.
One of the primary benefits to coaching versus therapy is that while I am only licensed to provide therapy to clients in 2 states, I am able to provide parent coaching support and education to parents from all over the world.

Insurance will not cover or reimburse for parent coaching fees.

Yes. Following the free 20-minute free consultation or during the registration process, you will receive a written Agreement that will require an e-signature prior to attending your first full parent coaching appointment, or prior to attending Week 1 of the parent course.
-
While we will be collaborating and strategizing together on ways to help your child’s nervous system states (and yes, behaviors) to shift and change for the better, we will be relying on and incorporating tools supported by the most current research about what behavior really is. Spoiler Alert: The research we now have about human behavior does not support behaviorism and the use of rewards and punishments like timeouts, spanking, or withdrawing privileges as an effective way of helping children with histories of trauma, neurodivergence and big, baffling behaviors.
-
It is never too late to improve your relationship with your child, and the science and tools offered through the lens I employ applies to ALL humans of ALL ages, not just children, and not just those with big, baffling behaviors. It is not too late.

The tenets and approach to parent coaching provided at All of You is Welcome, LLC is largely informed by Robyn Gobbel’s work. Her website is https://robyngobbel.com/, and includes many free resources including free ebooks to download, and a link to her free podcast called “ The Baffling Behavior Show with Robyn Gobbel”. Her website also includes more information and details about the year-long immersive training program for parent coaches that I completed in 2022, and received certification as a course facilitator and Being With™ Parent Course practitioner.
