Whether navigating IEPs, 504 Plans, psychoeducational evaluations, intervention planning, gifted programming, private school accommodations, behavioral concerns, or placement decisions, many families find themselves asking:
 

“Am I asking the right questions?”
“Am I missing something?”
“How do I advocate without becoming the difficult parent?”

You do not have to navigate that alone.

Your voice matters. Your instincts matter. Your role as your child’s advocate is invaluable.

​

You do not have to navigate that alone.

ADHD Support Beyond Medication
If your child struggles with ADHD and you feel uncertain about medication—or simply want to explore additional options—you are not alone.

At STT, we understand that every child’s nervous system, learning style, and developmental needs are unique.

​

Our clinicians work with families to support ADHD through evidence-based, non-medication approaches when appropriate, including:

• Behavioral therapy strategies

• Parent coaching and home-based interventions

• Executive functioning support

• Emotional regulation skills

• School collaboration and accommodations

• Lifestyle, sleep, movement, and nutrition-based support

Our goal is not a one-size-fits-all solution—but to help identify the combination of supports that allows your child, and your family, to thrive.

​

Parent Coaching & Family Support

Parenting a sensitive, strong-willed, neurodivergent, high-achieving, or struggling child can be deeply rewarding—and incredibly demanding.

Sometimes even the most loving, capable parents feel exhausted, second-guess themselves, or wonder if what’s worked before simply isn’t working anymore.
 

Our parent coaching services are designed to support you—not judge you.

We partner with families to explore challenges, identify strengths, and develop practical tools that align with your values, parenting style, and long-term goals.
 

Parent coaching may support:

• Behavioral challenges

• ADHD and executive functioning concerns

• Stress-related parenting challenges

• Anxiety, emotional regulation, and meltdowns

• Developmental support and age-appropriate expectations

• Parenting during major transitions or family crisis

• School stress, academic pressure, and perfectionism

• Boundary setting, consistency, and confidence as a parent

​

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to parenting.
 

Our goal is not to tell you how to parent—but to help you parent with greater clarity, confidence, connection, and support—so your entire family can grow from a place of empowerment, resilience, and trust.
