I met Tina when she was presenting a workshop at the Children’s Mental Health conference. I received individual consultation from Tina as I learned to apply the techniques.

Hi Tina,
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your help.
I was at my wits end the day I called EAP for help. I was struggling with the difficulties that sometimes come along when parenting not one, but three teenage children. Wanting to do the right thing, but being unsure what that was, my worrying was off the charts.
Prior to reaching out to EAP I had no idea that parent coaching existed, but being desperate for guidance I decided to give it a shot. I am so glad that I did.
You listened to me and really seemed to hear where I was coming from. You offered excellent suggestions for useful methods to try, and suggested meaningful words and phrases to help my kids understand where I am coming from. You helped build my confidence too - before our first session I really felt like I was doing it all wrong. Not only did you assure me that wasn’t true but rather you pointed out all of the things that I was doing right.
I found this to be a very valuable experience and I will most certainly reach out to you in the future when I need your guidance.
Parenting is hard sometimes - I think everyone could benefit from your coaching!
