Parent Consultation
If you’re here, I can already guess: You’re a smart, resourceful parent who wants to feel more connected with your kid, understand their behavior, and consider some new ways to support them. This is exactly what I help with!
Appointments are prepaid BEFORE you PICK A DATE from my online calendar. Use the link at the bottom of this checkout form.
We’ll meet by video. You’ll get a Zoom link via email confirming our session date + time.
Here’s what you can expect from our first session:
You'll share about your family and the support you're craving.
We'll connect child development with nervous system awareness and start making sense of the behaviors or challenges showing up.
I’ll share some practical tools, and you'll leave with one or two things to try right away.
Please review Terms + Conditions below before submitting payment.
Terms + Conditions for Consultation
Our initial consultation is designed to clarify next steps and offer you one or two new things to try right away.
Please note that stand-alone sessions may be booked to explore parenting, behavior concerns, adoption or other family dynamics, with no assumed or implied commitment to on-going support.
Should you have an interest in pursuing child or family therapy, please request this directly, so we can discuss the informed consent process and determine the best path forward or provider for your needs.
My specialty areas include:
Child development with ages 2-12
Peaceful parenting and attachment theory
Brain-based understanding of behavior and regulation
Neurodiversity-affirming support for the whole family
Foster care and adoption dynamics
Connecting your child's behavior with what’s fueling upsets and overwhelm, so you can make sense of patterns & help them shift.
If a specialized referral is needed, or I believe a different approach would serve you, I will gladly share resources and providers I trust.
Parent Coaching + Consultation are not therapy.
In most cases, insurance will not cover our initial inquiry session, because I'm not providing (3) key elements of mental health counseling:
1) Clinical Assessment
2) Diagnosis
3) Treatment of a mental health concern
These distinct clinical services are necessarily **not included** in parent coaching or brief consultation, as they require a different commitment, process, and informed consent. I don’t believe therapy is necessary for everyone, nor is it the only way to explore and experience changes that can make a big difference in your family’s life.

Payment
Full payment for the session is your responsibility, collected by credit card prior to the time of service; payment confirms your appointment. I will prioritize and protect your appointment time, reserving the right of reimbursement for any bank fees related to insufficient funds or disputed charges.
*****
Cancellation
Your scheduled session is time reserved for you. If you are unable to keep your appointment, please contact me at least 48 hours ahead. Otherwise, refunds are not offered. Your session fee may be redirected to a small group workshop.

Our Agreement
By submitting this form, you agree:
"I have read these terms and understand that our work together will be focused on parent support and questions about child development, behavior, adoption, school dynamics, and/or the experience of parenthood. Assessment, diagnosis and treatment are not part of our initial consultation, as this is not mental health counseling, nor intended as a substitute for therapy services.
If, after 1-4 sessions, it becomes clear that another approach is indicated, we will identify best options for next steps. In some cases, this may mean that our sessions need to end.
I give permission for MereAnn Reid, owner and director of Family Zest, to make any necessary disclosures related to child safety and/or imminent harm to any persons we discuss. I understand and agree to engage in consultation and coaching under the conditions described.”
