How much does emotional regulation coaching with Elizabeth cost?+
Pricing is personalized for each family's goals and needs. During your free discovery call, Elizabeth will recommend the right plan and session frequency.

When will we see progress with emotional regulation coaching?+
Many families notice improvements within 4–6 weeks of consistent practice and strategy use.
Do parents take part in emotional regulation coaching with Elizabeth?+
Yes — parents are the most powerful influence in the room, and consistency at home is what makes new regulation tools stick.
