We help clients navigate anxiety, ADHD, autism, emotional regulation challenges, burnout, life transitions, parenting concerns, school difficulties, and relationship challenges through personalized care that honors each person’s unique strengths, needs, and goals.

2. What is the difference between therapy, parent coaching, behavioral consultation, and school support?

Therapy focuses on emotional well-being, self-understanding, coping skills, relationships, and personal growth. Parent coaching helps caregivers better understand their child, strengthen connection, and develop practical strategies that support family life. Behavioral consultation provides individualized guidance for complex behavioral, developmental, and educational concerns. School behavioral support and consultation help bridge the gap between home and school by collaborating with educators, supporting accommodations, and creating strategies that promote success across environments.

We help families make sense of diagnoses, understand their child’s unique strengths and challenges, and identify what is really driving behavior.

We also help families understand educational recommendations, accommodations, and support options when appropriate.

OUR TESTIMONIALS

Our family worked with Heather and Sasha for an entire weekend for Intensive Family Training. We were blown away by how much we were able to LEARN in one weekend. We have adopted most of the strategies and tools we learned and have revealed the consistent improvements we have seen in the well-being of our children as well as our confidence as parents. My husband and I are finally on the same page!

The follow-up coaching has been incredibly helpful, the children loved both of these ladies and are always telling us when we don’t follow through, “We better call Ms. Heather and Ms. Sasha,” they were simply phenomenal! This service is perfect for busy families as we exchanged weeks of intervention or months of sitting on a waitlist with one weekend that packed a solid punch! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

“I worked in tandem with Elizabeth to provide educational support for a child with Down Syndrome. I have a Master’s Degree in Education, and a Master’s Degree in Library Sciences, and was an early elementary teacher for over twenty years. In all my years of teaching, I have never witnessed an early intervention specialist of the caliber of Elizabeth. She has an extraordinary gift of engaging her student/client by knowing the right balance of academic work with behavioral mentoring. Elizabeth knows exactly when to push her student and when to pull back. The result is that Elizabeth is able to achieve outstanding results in both the student’s behavior and educational goals. The reason for this positive outcome is that her students trust her. Elizabeth extends herself to her student with her whole heart and the student feels her sincere intention. She’s just the best at what she does.”

“We were in a scary and desperate place as a family, immobilized by the behavior of our 10-year-old son. Heather was exactly who we needed! She provided a warm, but no-nonsense approach to behavioral intervention. She walks in, takes off her shoes, and gets right down to business. She has been such a support for us not only by improving our parenting skills but our daily interactions and appreciation for one another. I wish I would have known people like Heather were out there years ago.”

“Ms. Torres is one of the most professional people I have ever met. My son was having a difficult time at his new school. He was not listening to directions, running out of the classroom, and breaking school property. Ms. Torres was able to provide the school with recommendations to best support him. My son has made huge strides and is now doing really well at his school. Without Ms. Torres’s support and knowledge this story wouldn’t have had a happy ending.”
