Family Love Lab
Inspired by Gottman’s Love Lab
Offering in-home observations of parent-child interactions. Personalized recommendations are provided based on clinician observations of your family’s everyday moments from meals to chores to play.
Grounded in Gottman’s Research
This service is built on decades of research showing that children who are emotion-coached develop stronger self-regulation, better academic outcomes, and more resilient relationships. The in-home format brings evidence-based coaching into the moments that matter most.

Alyssa brings a breadth of experience working with children and families and birthed this idea as a way of offering personalized tools and resources, uniquely tailored to the family system they will be used within.
Every parent wants to feel connected to their child — and every child needs to feel understood. This service offers personalized, in-home support to help you respond to your child’s big emotions with confidence, build a deeper bond, and create a home where feelings are welcomed.
