Initial Intake + Parenting Planning
(1 hr)
This will be our first official visit to more specifically discuss your goals around queer-inclusive parenting. We will develop your plan, go over our contract, discuss specific needs, and where I can meet your child/children. In-person is preferred for this visit, but a remote call can be accommodated!
Regular Visits
(2-4 hrs/visit)
Visits are booked anywhere from 1-3 days a week and must be booked in minimums of 2 hr blocks per visit.
Sessions can be parents-only, child-only, or can include the whole family! What our time together looks like, is entirely up to you.
Timeline
This timeline will differ on an individual basis, but here's a little on what to expect.
With over 10 years of experience as a caretaker and elementary school teaching assistant, the focus has been on providing emotional support and regulation.
Support has been given to children in expressing complex feelings, navigating family changes, and exploring gender and sexuality. Games and traditions have been adapted for LGBTQ+ families, along with offering parents tips for big conversations with their kids.
LGBTQ+ parents and children often face exclusion in education, healthcare, and parenting. Inclusive, safe, and actively LGBTQ+ focused care is essential. Support is provided for parents with children of any age, offering queer education, and providing tools and resources for the whole family.
The specific services I will provide you with are 100% up to you! I individualize every queer parenting plan with you to make sure we are taking into account the ways that you (and your child) best learn, the types of support that you feel are the most helpful, and will always leave room for wants and needs to fluctuate.
