Trust-based strategies
TBRI-informed
We draw on Trust-Based Relational Intervention principles—connection, empowerment, and correction in that order.
Parents & caregivers
Parenting Support
Connection before compliance
TBRI-informed coaching and therapy for parents navigating dysregulation, attachment challenges, and everyday discipline—with strategies that actually work at home.
Therapy for Kids & Families
How we support your family
Yours and theirs
Regulation first
When parents understand their own nervous system, it is easier to coach children through meltdowns and opposition.
For real-life routines
Practical tools
Scripts, routines, and repair conversations you can use at bedtime, school mornings, and hard transitions.
Parenting support
You do not have to figure this out alone
Parenting support at Happy Camper is for caregivers of children we serve—or families considering care. Sessions may be telehealth or in-person and focus on your goals: fewer power struggles, stronger attachment, and confidence in discipline that preserves dignity. We are not here to judge; we are here to equip.

Topics we cover
From survival mode to steadiness
Meltdowns and dysregulation, oppositional behavior, trauma-informed parenting, co-parenting alignment, parenting children with ADHD or neurodivergence, and healing your own attachment history so it does not replay with your kids. We coordinate with your child’s therapist when you are already in care with us.

What parents gain
Calmer homes and clearer leadership
Parents often report feeling less reactive, more prepared, and more connected to their children—even when behavior is still challenging. You will leave with language to use in the moment and a plan for what to practice between sessions.

How parenting support works
Focused sessions for caregivers
Parenting support typically includes:
- Clarifying what is going on at home and what you want to change
- Learning regulation and connection strategies before correction
- Role-play and scripts for high-stress moments
- Monthly or biweekly sessions—often via secure telehealth
- Coordination with child therapy when your child is in treatment with us
Parent coaching can stand alone or complement child and family sessions.
Who this is for
Especially helpful if
- You feel depleted or stuck in power struggles
- Your child’s therapist recommends more parent involvement
- You are parenting through trauma, adoption, or foster care
- You want TBRI-aligned guidance from licensed clinicians
Support your child’s therapy
Parenting support pairs naturally with play therapy and our concierge mobile program.
What to expect
Starting parent support
We begin with your story and goals—no need to have it all figured out. Sessions are confidential and practical. If your child is in care with us, we align with their treatment plan; if not, we can still support you while you explore next steps.
Reach out to schedule a consultation or ask whether parenting support, family therapy, or child therapy fits best.

Play therapy is a developmentally appropriate counseling approach that helps children process big emotions, navigate relationships, and build coping skills using their natural language—play.
Rather than relying only on words, children use toys, games, stories, and art to express themselves. At Happy Camper, we use evidence-based play therapy techniques to support emotional regulation, behavior change, social-emotional learning, and trauma recovery.
All sessions are 45–50 minutes, including mobile play therapy, parent coaching (telehealth), in-home family therapy, and individual counseling for teens and adults.
Yes, we offer limited after-school and weekend appointments, though they fill quickly.
We also encourage families to consider daytime sessions—schools often allow excused absences for therapy, and children often return to class with improved focus, regulation, and academic engagement.
Session fees typically range from $65–$300 per session, depending on the type of service, setting (in-home, mobile office, nature-based, or telehealth), and your therapist’s credentials.
We are happy to discuss rates for concierge packages, group therapy, and specialized formats during your discovery call.
