THERAPY FOR CHILDREN, FAMILIES & PARENTS
When your child is struggling, everything feels heavier.
If you’re here, you’ve probably been advocating, researching, problem-solving, and worrying. At Morningstar, we start with your child as a whole person — their strengths, their story, and what’s making things hard right now. Then we build from there, with you alongside us the whole way.

PARENT COACHING
Parenting is hard work - let's make it more joyful
You’ve tried the calm voice. You’ve tried the consequences and the sticker charts. You don’t want to keep yelling, but somehow the cycle keeps repeating. The fact that you’re here means you want something to actually change — and that’s where we come in.
Parent coaching isn’t about becoming a perfect parent. It’s about getting real tools, building real confidence, and improving interactions with your child.
Whether your child is melting down daily, refusing to do anything you ask, or you’re walking on eggshells trying to prevent the next explosion — we will help you figure out what’s driving the behavior and what to do about it.
Sessions are built around you. Your goals, your family’s rhythms, your child’s specific challenges. No generic handouts. No one-size-fits-all scripts.
Our Approach
PARENT COACHING
Triple P Positive Parenting Program
Triple P is the most extensively studied parenting program in the world. It is informed by social learning, cognitive behavioral and developmental theory, as well as research into risk factors associated with the development of social and behavioral problems in children. Triple P is a system of interventions designed to equip parents with the skills and confidence they need to manage any family issue.
SPACE Parenting Treatment
SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) is a parent-based treatment program for children and adolescents with anxiety, OCD, and related concerns. Although your child is technically the client and anxiety or OCD is the target, SPACE works by helping you (the parent) change the ways you respond to your child’s anxiety.
