Areas of specialty and expertise

Parenting is one of the most rewarding yet challenging journeys, and you don't have to navigate it alone. At Little Seeds, we provide individualized parent coaching and support, helping you feel more confident, connected, and equipped to handle the ups and downs of raising children.

Through evidence-based parenting strategies, we guide caregivers in:

*Navigating co-parenting, divorce, and family transitions

*Understanding and managing challenging behaviors

*Strengthening parent-child attachment and connection

*Supporting children through big emotions, trauma, and stress

*Creating a structured yet nurturing home environment

Whether you're struggling with day-to-day parenting stressors or facing more complex family challenges, we provide practical tools and compassionate guidance tailored to your family's unique needs. Parenting isn't about perfection, it's about connection. Lets work together to help you build a strong, secure, and loving relationships. We utilize attachment-based parenting approaches, such as the Circle of Security, collaborative problem solving,  Emotion Coaching, and Cognitive-Behavioral based approaches.

 At Little Seeds, we understand that challenging behaviors often stem from unmet needs, overwhelming emotions, or difficulty with self-regulation and communication. If your child is exhibiting:

*Frequent meltdowns, aggression, or outbursts

*Anxiety, withdrawal, or extreme fearfulness

*Defiance, difficulty following directions, or impulsivity

*Trouble with transitions, changes, or new environments

*Struggles with friendships, social skills, or emotional expression

It may be a sign that they need extra support. Through evidence-based clinical approaches, we work alongside children and families to uncover the root causes of these behaviors while building essential skills for emotional regulation, healthy communication, and connection.

Using  cognitive- behavioral interventions, play-based interventions, and parent coaching, we will create a personalized behavior management plan tailored to your child's unique needs. As Kayla likes to say, we are teaching parents to "speak their child's language” helping you understand their behaviors, respond effectively, and foster a home environment where you and your child child feels safe, understood, and supported.

*Little Seeds does not support the diagnosis of Oppositional Defiant Disorder*

 At Little Seeds Counseling, we understand that trauma affects not just children, but entire families. Whether you’re a child, caregiver, or parent, we provide trauma-informed therapy to help you process painful experiences, build emotional resilience, and reclaim a sense of safety and strength.

We offer individual therapy for children and adults, as well as family-based trauma work, supporting healing from:

*Community & family violence

*Sexual, physical, or emotional abuse

*Neglect & traumatic loss

*Medical emergencies or accidents

*Other overwhelming or scary experiences

For those navigating trauma-related anxiety, depression, or emotional distress, we integrate effective approaches such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) to promote healing and growth, and evidence-based interventions grounded in attachment theory and play for children.
