You know you're doing your best

You no longer worry that there are some pieces to raising a kid that you're missing. You know what you need to be aware of to do this parenting thing well.

YOU SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE

They're no longer anxious when it's time to transition from one activity to the next. They communicate their desires and actually listen when you tell them what's going to happen.

You get to see their truest self

Your kid isn't acting out for attention or obedient to a fault because you show up in the ways they need. Now they can grow in the ways that will make them happy, short term and long term.

“Alex and I worked side-by-side as behavioral therapists for nearly 10 years. His approach to both individual clients and families is gentle, sincere, educated, and thoughtful. He contains an infinite supply of patience and compassion required to help clients meet their individual goals and needs.”
