The Parent Steps Program

For parents of children ages 4–10 who are struggling with listening, behavior, daily routines, or their family’s relationships. Evidenced-based treatment for children with ADHD and related behavioral challenges led by doctoral level psychologist.

This program is a great fit for parents with children:

  • Ages 4-10.

  • Struggling with listening, defiance, or frequent meltdowns.

  • Exhibiting impulsive or hyperactive behavior.

  • Having difficulty with routines, transitions, or following directions.

  • Contributing to daily stress or conflict at home.

Program overview:

  • Parent-only weekly sessions teach practical, real-life strategies tested in clinical trials to be effective for children and families with behavioral challenges.

  • Meet weekly with Dr. Emily. 2 sessions per month are 1-on-1 with Dr. Emily and 2 sessions per month are ‘office hours’ which may involve other families if they choose to attend. If you are the only one in office hours, then it becomes an individual session to troubleshoot and get more feedback from Dr. Emily.

  • Guided support to implement changes at home between sessions

  • Ongoing message support

  • $450 per month paid at start of the month. Stop treatment anytime.

What you can expect:

  • Less daily stress and fewer power struggles

  • Improved listening and cooperation

  • Stronger parent-child relationship and enjoyment

  • More confidence in how to respond to behavior

  • A clear, consistent structure that works at home

  • Parents learned to be aligned on approaches

Why the focus on working with parents?

Lasting change in child behavior happens in the home—where behavior occurs every day. Parents are in the best position to create that change.

Traditional models that focus on meeting with a child for one hour per week represent only a small fraction of a child’s life. Meaningful improvement requires consistent, day-to-day support within the home (and sometimes school) environment.

When parents are given the right tools, change becomes not only possible—but sustainable.

With the right tools, you will:

  • Reduce daily stress and power struggles

  • Support your child’s emotional regulation

  • Build cooperation and respect

  • Strengthen your parent-child relationship

  • Feel confident and effective as a parent
