hey there!

I'm Dr Kirstin Barchia.

As a clinical psychologist working with teenagers and their families for the past 20 years, I have witnessed many great parents unknowingly make mistakes that have made their difficulties with their teen worse... all because no one gave them the support and guidance they needed.

When I went looking for resources for parents I found tip sheets that were vague...tell parents to "connect" with their kids. And advice that was not practical or possible for a lot of families. Most parents are working at least part time, have multiple children and aging parents to care for. The advice given in tip sheets may work if a parent had nothing else going on, but very hard to do at 9:30pm at night after working all day and not having a moment to themselves.

That's why I developed the Calm Connection Program and other free resources like this workshop with practical strategies to help parents of teenagers.

I am here to help you.
