We offer a safe, non-confrontational behavior modification program that is implemented in 10 sessions over six months.

We focus on teaching parents how to better manage a “difficult” child to restore order and peace to the home or school. A behavioral consultant works directly with the child’s parent/s (or caregivers) to teach them specific behavior management tools to use with the child. Fair but Firm is not psychotherapy—a process through which therapists work to reveal underlying, faulty thinking so they can teach children ways to behave more appropriately. Our goal is to change behavior. Our program can work before, during or after psychotherapy, as it is often important to address both the problematic behavior and the faulty thinking. That said, psychotherapy is not always necessary once behaviors are corrected.

What Makes Us Different

We teach a non-confrontational behavior modification program that focuses on changing family dynamics. Parents who change the way they interact with their children inspire their children to adjust to a new environment and style of interaction.

Parents appreciate:

• We don’t judge parenting skills.
• We provide real-time coaching through unlimited phone access.
• We don’t need the child’s cooperation—only the adult’s.
• We create faster and more lasting results by empowering adults.
• We guarantee our work.

Kids appreciate:

• We don’t base our program on a reward system of points, tokens or charts.
• We don’t focus on “the diagnosis” or on working through the life events that got the child to this point. We work on the solution.
• We teach kids to take personal responsibility for their behaviors, so they can fix them.
