You've tried everything. Let's try what works.

## Four sessions. Here's how

1. **Understand.** What's happening, how long it's been happening, and what you've
   already tried. We define goals and start tracking.
2. **Find patterns.** Your tracking reveals what's driving the behavior. We pick two
   strategies: one to prevent it, one for when it happens.
3. **Adjust.** Did we pick right? We tweak what's close, swap what isn't working, and
   check the impact on everyone in the house.
4. **Sustain.** Strategies become habits. You learn to apply them to new behaviors on
   your own. You're done needing me.

## Not a life coach. Not making it up

I'm a licensed clinical social worker trained in three evidence-based programs with
decades of peer-reviewed research behind them.

- **Triple P** -- 35+ years of research. Used in 30+ countries. My 4-session model is
  built on it.
- **Incredible Years** -- research-backed since the 1980s. Connection first, behavior
  follows.
- **Positive Discipline** -- mutual respect. Internal motivation. Long-term skills, not
  short-term obedience.

"I have parents track the problem for a week. Then we look at patterns and figure out
what's underneath -- because that determines the strategies." -- Alexis Davis, LICSW
