How it works

CPRT in-person group program

Our CPRT (Child-Parent Relationship Therapy) in-person groups are a powerful way to strengthen the bond with your child. Through structured sessions, you’ll learn skills to help your child express emotions, feel more secure, and reduce challenging behaviors. You’ll also connect with other parents on a similar path—because you shouldn’t have to do this alone. Investment: $400 for the full 10-week course.

Individual CPRT coaching program

Prefer one-on-one guidance? Our individual coaching sessions allow us to tailor CPRT tools to your family’s specific needs. With private support, you’ll learn effective strategies to bring more peace, understanding, and emotional regulation into your home. Cost: $100 per 1-hour session.

How do I sign up?

Getting started is simple. Schedule a free consultation, meet your coach, and we’ll help you determine the best fit for your goals. Whether you choose group or individual parent coaching, you'll have a trusted guide by your side every step of the way.

Frequently asked questions

  • How is CPRT different from any other parenting curriculum?

    • Most parenting curriculums can feel overwhelming CPRT isn’t. It offers a gentle learning curve: one skill per week, practiced during short playtimes that help you bond while learning.
    • Children use toys to process emotions, so CPRT helps you join them in that space and truly understand them.
    • And unlike many popular guides, CPRT is officially recognized as evidence-based by SAMHSA.

  • What is expected from the parent:

    I was surprised at how doable CPRT felt. Instead of overwhelming myself, I learned one skill a week and practiced it during playtime. It helped me connect with my child on a deeper level. Plus, knowing it’s evidence-based made me feel confident I was using something that truly works.

  • Will my insurance cover the cost of CPRT?

    Currently, CPRT group classes are not billed through insurance. If you opt for individual sessions, we can provide a superbill a detailed receipt of services that you can submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
