Testimonials for Pam Perkins
I have such an incredible relationship with my teenage girls. My husband does too. I would love to say it was all my own instincts but the truth is, it was Pam Perkins and her incredible workshops on Attachment Parenting. I found Pam when my girls were 8 and have followed her sage advice every day. I learned a dozen or so tools I can apply literally to every situation. How do you take a child's device away and have them hug you after? Pam can teach you that. What do you do during the Major Meltdown when you are late and walking out the door? Pam will teach you that too. How do you get your kids to talk to you? Ask Pam. This is the set of tools that every single parent needs. I cannot say enough about the attachment parenting workshops. If you are waiting for a sign this is it - do it.

Pam’s Parent Coaching transformed my relationship with my child.
She gives advice from her experience, her training, and her heart…
All the while it feels like she’s channeling this amazing Higher Power-Compassion energy, without calling it that. Now I know how to give my teenage son the space he needs and I’ve learned to listen to him with curiosity, love, and a sense of humor, rather than getting my feelings hurt. Pam also models grace in such a way that when I make a mistake, it’s so much easier to forgive myself. At one point I was afraid my son would leave and never come back. Now, I feel confident that he knows I love him, that I am here for him, and that he loves me. She has made a huge positive impact on both me and my son.

We were desperate. Our adult son was having confusion, agitation and had refused counseling…one day we had to call the police on him. Pam gave us insight, a language, and an approach with him that was different. What we were missing was the crucial framework to understand where he was coming from. Our son still has many challenges but he is willing to hear us now and sees us as allies in his care.

We finally found a person that could bring together our very different ideas on co-parenting our son with ADHD. Even though the challenges in our home were still enormous, we were no longer hopeless because we finally understood the “hows” - how to work together, how our son was feeling and how to actually help him.

Pam is a highly skilled, compassionate and dedicated Parent Therapist and Trainer. I’ve consulted with her for many families I’ve served as a Child Therapist. Children whose parents are separated or divorced are often in a very vulnerable position, navigating two different homes and worlds. Pam provides coaching to help parents become empowered, respectful and willing to work with one another as they navigate their shared parenting of their children. The result is better well being for the parents and the child.
