What I Will Teach You ▶️

Hi, I'm Dr. Jenn Nielsen...

We haven't worked together yet, but I might know a bit about you already. Is it possible that:

  • You’re a parent who just wants your kids to be safe, happy, social, and accepted.  You’re also a parent who really just wants and needs your kids to listen, get out the door on time, follow directions, and try new things without a lot of tears or pushback.
  • You’ve tried chore charts, taking things away, giving too many things, time-outs, and yelling. Maybe you and your partner are not on the same page about how to manage your kids' upbringing.
  • You notice that your child has a harder time joining groups and trying new things, or gets easily angered or tearful over things that don’t make sense to you. You end up frustrated and they end up more upset. No one feels good. 
  • You notice other parents and kids who don’t seem like they have the same struggles. You  start to seriously wonder what’s “wrong” with your kid, what you are doing “wrong,” or unfortunately both. You feel frustrated, exhausted, and overwhelmed. You start to question, "Why can't we just get a break?!"

What You're Looking For Instead:

  • You can feel confident that your kiddo can go to a birthday party or sleepover for the whole time - and enjoy it.
  • You breathe easier because your teen wants to go to the dance, the game, and the graduation party.
  • Your mini-me actually tells you what’s up, how they’re feeling, what’s wrong, and what’s right.
  • You feel like you can figure out what’s going on with your kids, or have a few decent guesses they will actually give you feedback about.
  • You’re content knowing that your kid understands the difference between being motivated and being perfectionistic. You know that a “C” doesn’t cost them their mental health - and neither does an “A”.
  •  You go to parties, school, the playground, restaurants, and vacations when you want to. You can handle any small grumbles that sometimes go along with that.
  • You can go to those places and view your kids’ behavior as fitting in, like the others’, or “normal.”
  • You feel better-equipped to handle the big feelings and meltdowns of your little ones and  teens.
  • You respond with “Overall, things are pretty good actually” when other parents ask how you’re all doing.
  • Your kids are following directions the first or second time, able to execute their routines fairly independently, and meltdowns are less intense and are shorter. Homework is a neutral experience now.
  • You’re spending more time enjoying your family members, rather than managing them.

Connecting, Sharing, and Talking About:

  • How to confidently understand and address what your kids’ needs are in a way that feels good for both of you.
  • How to connect with and support your child at home, every day, with professional strategies and tools that work.
  • How to understand the public school system, its supports, and Special Education testing and legalities so you can advocate for your child.
  • How to get a better feel for what therapy with kids, teens, and young adults is actually like and how to support your child in that process.
  • Why you don't need to pay a stranger to work with your child, struggle with insurance claims, or turn your schedule into a pretzel hoping you can find a therapist you actually like, and hope your kid does too. You're already stressed and worried - why make it worse?

The Why...

I have worked as a School Psychologist, private practitioner, and Corporate Psychologist. After 25 years in the field of Psychology,
 I noticed something:
I was giving the same guidance to overwhelmed and frustrated, behavior-burnout parents.  
Most parents tried what they could remember from our parent consultations. Things improved. Then those best intentions fell flat; parents got too busy, kids’ schedules were crazy, and things were “going well enough that we decided to take a break from therapy.” 
Guess what...Many parents brought kids back when behaviors and big feelings popped up again. They couldn’t remember the strategies we talked about. They were still battling kid schedules, work schedules, school, and sports. Kids and parents started again at square one or two. Follow through and consistency had taken a backseat to…well, life.
It was difficult to watch this happen with former clients, and I really disliked turning new families away due to availability and scheduling conflicts. Parents and kids needed something on their own schedule. 

So here I am. And here you are.
