While many of our clients take our online classes for personal reasons, many take them for a court or legal requirement. While we strive for court approval in as many counties as possible, there is no formal regulation on anger management classes on a state or Federal level. We recommend getting prior approval from the court, judge, probation or your attorney before starting any anger management program to ensure it will meet your specific requirements.

Sleep Coach/Specialist
Gentle Sleep Coaching refers to an approach developed by Kim West, LCSW-C (a.k.a. “T​he Sleep Lady”). The Gentle Approach involves gathering information about you, your baby, and your family. It takes into account the baby’s development, temperament, and feeding, as well as parents’ goals, philosophy, and needs to devise a plan for improving sleep that does not involve leaving the baby alone to cry. This is not about forcing you or your baby into a pre-designed, crying-based program. We work together to come up with a plan that you feel good about.
