Neurodivergent Parenting Support & coaching
Your parenting journey to a more confident and connected chapter starts now.
We help you learn your neurodivergent child’s unique wiring, lean into the moments that don’t always go as planned, trust your gut even when the path feels unclear, and celebrate every little win—because progress looks different for everyone. We walk with you in a safe space to shift and build a parenting style that feels authentic and confident for you and your family.
Tired of losing your calm and wondering if you’re doing it all wrong?
So, you’re exhausted. You’ve tried to be the calm in the chaos, and you feel like you’re failing every time you lose your cool. But here’s the truth: you’re not failing.
You’re showing up. You’re trying. And that makes you exactly the parent your child needs. It’s not about being calm or perfect all the time. Your child’s future isn’t shaped by your difficult moments, it’s built on the love and effort you bring every single day.
Right now, it’s time to stop carrying the weight of shame and guilt and start finding solutions that actually work for your family. We’re here to help you find your strengths, embrace your child’s unique wiring, and create a life where your family thrives.
WE SEE YOU PARENT
It’s okay to feel overwhelmed and exhausted, but you deserve to feel empowered to handle whatever comes next
You deserve to feel seen, supported, and understood—not judged for the way you show up in the hard moments. You’re carrying so much, and it’s okay to rest. You deserve tools that work for your family, solutions that honor your child’s individuality, and a community that truly “gets it.”
You don’t have to do this alone. You’re doing the best you can. We’re here with a supportive community to help you shift from feeling overwhelmed and exhausted to empowered and confident, step by step.
Your journey to embracing your child’s unique wiring and creating a life filled with more ease and connection starts here, right now.
Parenting a neurodivergent child is an ever-evolving journey, not a destination. It’s about learning, unlearning, and finding what works for your family. You already have the love and dedication your child needs, now it’s time to pair that with tools and strategies designed to honor their unique strengths and challenges. Together, we’ll help you move from overwhelm to empowerment, creating a life where connection feels natural, progress feels possible, and those small glimmers of joy light the way forward.
This is your space, a community of parents and professionals that truly get you, and we’ve been waiting for you to find us.
The approach we use to support emotional transformations for the entire family:
This isn’t a cookie cutter approach. We’ve developed this framework after working with hundreds of families as a way for each family to find what uniquely works for them.
Check:
Building calm in your home starts with curiosity and courage. It’s time to stop guessing and start understanding why your emotional triggers are clashing with your child’s. Together, we’ll dig deep, uncover the root causes, and rewrite the way you see these moments. The goal? To create a stronger connection, shift from frustration to clarity, and give you the confidence to lead your family.
Connect:
Connection doesn’t happen by accident, it’s built in the hardest moments. We’ll teach you how to validate emotions in the middle of anger and anxiety, foster co-regulation, and build trust—even when it feels impossible. With the right tools, you’ll learn how to turn difficult moments into breakthroughs and create a home where love is louder than fear.
Collaborate
Together we’ll craft solutions that honor your strengths and embrace your child’s unique wiring so you can finally step into the role you’ve been longing for: the empowered parent who knows what works for your family and how to adapt to the challenges that arise. This is where you let go of the guilt, breathe deeply, and smile, knowing you’re giving your child—and yourself—the best chance to thrive.
ARE YOU READY TO TURN YOUR EVERYDAY STRUGGLES INTO MOMENTS OF CONNECTION?
It's time to stop
Feeling overwhelmed when every transition feels impossible. Whether it’s getting out the door, brushing teeth, or starting homework, smoother mornings and calmer routines are possible—with the right strategies and a supportive community.
Second guessing your parenting style because it doesn’t fit the “traditional” style. Your intuition and your child’s individuality matter more than anyone else’s expectations.
Letting frustration take over when your child struggles. When something feels scary and overwhelming for them, we’re here to guide you both so trying again feels manageable—and even exciting.
Wondering how to set boundaries without escalating emotions. We help you confidently draw firm but loving boundaries, even when the word "no" activates your child’s fight or flight response.
The real work of parenting is showing up when it’s hard, while carrying an emotional load most people never see. You deserve a village that truly gets it.
You already have what it takes to support your child—you just need tools and strategies that work for your unique family. We focus on helping you build trust, connection, and confidence in your parenting by meeting you where you are.

The Burnout-Proof Parent Guide: How to Co-regulate without running on empty
HELLO THERE, WE ´ VE GOT YOU!
We’re Vanessa & Tina, parenting coaches for neurodivergent children, your parenting problem-solving besties!
We’re Tina and Vanessa, co-founders of DEN. Tina’s a mom of six (yes, six!), including two neurodivergent children. Vanessa’s neurodivergent herself, so trust us when we say—we get it.
Between us, we have 40+ years as pediatric Occupational Therapists (OTs) and a lifetime of lived experience navigating all the ups, downs, and sideways turns this journey throws at us.
We’re big believers in Dr. Ross W. Greene’s philosophy: every child does well if they can. We like to take it a step further and say every human does well if they can. No one wants to act out in anger and anxiety. In order to help children thrive, we support family dynamics, uncovering what’s really behind big behaviors, and help you create solutions that actually work for your family.
So, welcome to DEN—a safe space for you to feel supported and to find tools that actually work for your family’s unique needs to develop, educate, and nurture your family. We’re here to help you navigate this wild, wonderful journey and remind you: you’re doing better than you think and we are here to support you because we’ve been there ourselves and we’ve helped hundreds of families through the same path.
