To My Frustrated, Done-With-The-BS Parents…
Welcome to the corner of the internet where you are given real solutions to get through to your middle schooler.

Hey, I'm Crystal!
Therapist and straight to the point parenting coach.
I help parents who have exhausted all their current options with their middle schoolers to stop the fight & start connecting!
I’m not for sugarcoating things (unless it’s a cookie, of course). This work we do is challenging, emotionally charged, and full of nuances.
Palms starting to sweat? Good!
It’s also the most rewarding endeavor you’ll ever take on. #pinkypromise.
Looking for a few credentials? I get it. Your family deserves the best.
I have a Master’s in Social Work and became a licensed therapist many moons ago (please don’t try to count them). Since then, I’ve worked with over 180 families to improve their dynamic.
I also have some personal ‘skin in the game’. I grew up in a difficult family situation filled with trauma.
*Cue the bad mood, emo music and the rebellion* (IYKYK!)
After working with a therapist, I was finally able to heal.
My life experience has improved in every way and I’ve been able to build a business paying it forward ever since.
I say all of this so you know - I’ve got the chops to help you as well as the life experience to improve the relationship between you and your middle-schooler.

Stories From Moms That Are Enjoying Genuine Connection…
Thank you Crystal for your expertise!
When I started working with Crystal, I was completely overwhelmed and felt like I was not equipped to parent. I felt like every negative action/behavior was indicative of my failures as a parent. I still feel that way on really bad sleep-deprived days, but now I have a better understanding of what is in my control and what is not. I feel more relaxed and less tightly wound with parenting things a lot of the time. Crystal has helped me with mindset changes, resets, concrete examples, and ideas for things to do in the moment. I am more in-tune with my child developmentally. Thank you Crystal for your expertise!~ Paula Kempany

She gave me the tools to handle conflict with my teenager, and now we are closer than ever.
I'm not someone to really leave feedback or anything, but I had such a good experience with Crystal that I kind of feel I have to. She was amazing for me and my daughter. I'm going through a divorce and I didn't really realize how much that was affecting me or my son. But the anger and issues my ex and I have was making its way into all of my life--work, family, self--all of it. Crystal was able to help me manage my emotions better. She's really smart but also down to earth and caring. She gave me the tools to handle conflict with my teenager, and now we are closer than ever. Thanks again, Crystal!! ~ Stephanie Manhart
