Welcome. We are glad you found us.
We believe strong families are built, not born. Most parents were not taught the skills their children need, and that is not a failure of love. It is a gap in what was passed down. Our work is to close it.
Through Parent-Child Interaction Therapy and family support across the lifespan, we teach parents and caregivers the skills that change how a family relates to one another, one interaction at a time. We work in English and Spanish, and sliding scale fees are available, because cost should never be the reason a family goes without help.
We are a small team who knows these families, because we come from them. You do not have to have it figured out before you call. You just have to start.
Parent Education
Do bedtimes end in tears? Does nothing seem to work?
You are not alone, and you are not doing it wrong. Most of us were never taught how to handle these moments, because no one taught the people who raised us either.
Our parenting programs in Stockton teach practical, everyday skills that calm the hard moments and build a warmer relationship between you and your child. Skills you can use tonight.
Strong families are built, not born. We would be glad to build one with you.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and it's normal to have questions. Here's what the first steps usually look like.
Your first call or contact. Someone from our team will ask a few basic questions to understand what you're looking for and make sure we're the right fit. You can share as much or as little as you're comfortable with.
A few routine questions. We ask every person the same set of questions, including some about safety, your current location, and an emergency contact. Please don't read anything into them. We ask everyone, and it helps us support you well and reach you if we ever need to, especially with telehealth.
Paperwork. Before your first session, you'll receive a few forms to complete. They cover basic demographic information, safety, and how we work together, including privacy and what you can expect from therapy. Take your time with them, and let us know if anything is unclear or you'd like help filling them out.
Your first session. Your Psychotherapist will get to know you, hear what brought you in, and talk about what you'd like to change. There's no pressure to tell your whole story right away. You set the pace.
Your questions are welcome. If a question feels too personal, or you'd like to know why we're asking it, just say so. We're happy to explain.
-
Many of our clients meet with us online, and it can work just as well as in person.
What you'll need. A phone, tablet, or computer with a camera and a reliable internet connection. We'll send you a secure link before your session.
Choose a private space. Find a quiet spot where you feel comfortable talking. Headphones can help with privacy. If you're in a car, please make sure you're parked and not driving.
Your location matters. At the start of each session, we'll confirm where you are. This is a standard part of telehealth, so we know how to reach help if there's ever an emergency.
If the connection drops. We'll have a backup plan, usually a phone call, and we'll go over it with you in your first session.
Your privacy. We use a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform. ~~We ask that you don't record sessions, so that everyone's privacy is protected. (~~please remove this from also the family legacy website)
Not sure telehealth is right for you? Tell us. We can talk through your options.
