You are a great parent.

You just need the right support. 

I've worked with dozens of California families to help build functional, loving relationships. I can do the same for you and your child.

Sound familiar?

✓ Your child melts down over what seem like the smallest things and you're walking on eggshells
✓ They have zero motivation to do homework, chores, or anything you ask
✓ You're parenting solo after divorce and feeling completely overwhelmed
✓ You and your co-parent can't agree on how to handle these challenges

I'm Michelle Copley

and this is why parents choose me:



    I'm a mom of 3 terrific teens (I've lived this too!)


    ​I offer personalized solutions for individual family situations; not a one-size-fits-all approach.


    I specialize in defiance, ADHD, divorce transitions, and motivational challenges


    I'm trained and authorized to offer therapy to California families as an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
