Parent Consultations

The JF&CS Center for Early Relationship Support® offers Parent Consultations to help you navigate the changing landscape of parenting.

For more than 30 years, we have been working with families in the early years of their children’s lives. Our Parent Consultations are partnerships between parents and parenting experts — designed to help families thrive and grow. This service provides support for parents by exploring the unique strengths and struggles in their relationship with their child. Parents collaborate with our experts to overcome challenges with new ideas and strategies. 

*All consultations are being conducted by phone or video chat during the pandemic. 

Common parenting challenges we address include:

• Welcoming a new member of the family
• Coping with a fussy baby
• Developing healthy sleep habits
• Parenting multiples 
• Dealing with sibling relationships
• Managing challenging behaviors
• Planning for transitions
• Adjusting after adoption 

Our consultations, which are usually a single session, are all followed by a written summary and an outline of the plan that was developed. A follow-up session may be scheduled.

Pricing per 60-minute session:

• $100 per phone or video session
• $125 per office session
• $150 per in-home session
