We couldn’t resist jumping on this trend 🤍
Because supporting families can sound different—but the care stays the same.

ARFID often gets mistaken for “picky eating,” but what looks like preference can sometimes be anxiety, sensory sensitivity, or a learned fear response around food.

Parents are usually already doing their best with strategies like pressure, rewards, or “just one bite”… but with ARFID, those approaches can actually increase distress and make eating feel even more unsafe.

What tends to help more is lowering pressure, keeping mealtimes neutral, and consistently offering safe foods while slowly expanding tolerance over time—without turning food into a power struggle.

If eating feels limited, stressful, or like it’s impacting growth, nutrition, or daily functioning, it may be worth getting support from a pediatrician or a therapist who understands feeding and anxiety-based eating patterns.

Not all “picky eating” is the same thing, and help is available 🤍🍽️

Connection teaches more than correction ever will. Behavior follows relationship.

This isn’t about skipping correction or avoiding consequences—they absolutely matter. But they land differently when they come from a foundation of trust, safety, and connection first. Parenting works best when relationship leads, and structure follows from there.

Parenting has a way of stretching even the strongest relationships—not because something is wrong, but because so much is happening at once. The good news is, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

We offer couples therapy for a range of needs, and as a practice rooted in child and family work, we’re uniquely suited to help parents stay connected, communicate more clearly, and repair when things feel hard in the middle of raising kids.

If it feels like you’re more in “logistics mode” than “us mode,” we can help you find your way back to each other.

This one’s for all the coparents out there! It isn’t easy, but one of the biggest things you can do to support your child (or children) is to really own your feelings. Begin to recognize what you find triggering, and plan time to talk with your friend, family, or possibly your therapist if you see one. This models healthy processing for your kids, while making sure they aren’t the ones taking on the brunt of your emotions 💕

All kids experience anxiety at times, especially around specific events or challenges. The difference with generalized anxiety disorder is that the worry is more constant, harder to turn off, and can start affecting sleep, school, and daily life. If you’re noticing this pattern, we’re here to help assess what’s going on and provide support—anxiety is highly treatable with the right care. ☺️

AI is new, but parenting teens through new technology isn’t. The goal is the same as always: stay curious, listen more than you lecture, and keep clear, consistent boundaries that support ongoing connection.

In my work with teens, the biggest protective factor is still a real, non-judgmental dialogue where they feel safe bringing things to you—even the uncomfortable or confusing stuff.

Please know, parents: teens are really drawn to using AI as an advice-giver or even a “therapist.” And the tricky part is, it’s not always bad advice… but it absolutely can be. There have already been serious concerns and real risks, and it is not a replacement for therapy, relationships, or human connection.

This is where nuance matters. Stay open, stay real, and keep the conversation going.
