Luvmour Consulting

Compassionate consultations with children, adolescents, and their families:

Our specialty is supporting optimal well-being in children.
We see through the child’s eyes and feel through the child’s heart.

Our work with children creates a high level of support for the child’s developmental needs. These needs must be met in order for the child to experience the highest levels of well-being and healthy development. Problematic behaviors are often an indicator that the child’s developmental needs would benefit from rebalancing.

Is this you?

• You want to feel more confident that your child’s development is being well supported at home and at school.
• You’d like to help your teens make responsible choices. Even though you know boundaries are important with children, you are having difficulty creating loving and appropriate boundaries.
• Your child has been diagnosed with an unhealthy behavior and you want help to identify healthy responses.
• Your child has learning challenges and you want to maximize his or her learning environments.
• You want to mitigate the trauma of divorce and/or create success in your new blended family.
• You want to do everything you can to support your child’s highest level of health and well-being.

I have a different perspective on raising my children; I no longer have to be just a manager. Since working with you, I’ve become a facilitator for growth through developmentally appropriate ways of talking and dealing with my children.

Here is what we can do for you and your child:

• We meet first with the adults in the family and come to a common understanding of the problem.
• We then communicate with your child at the child’s developmental level and in the appropriate language to help your son or daughter. This approach helps your child reorganize what’s going on in such a way that he or she can gain access to innate capacities and well-being.
• We empower family members and help the family make a new plan that is developmentally appropriate, contains healthy boundaries, and fits with the family’s lifestyle and needs.

How we work:

We do not do traditional therapy with the child nor do we typically conduct office visits with the child. We work with the family system first. If consulting with a child becomes important, we usually meet with the child in her own environment (e.g., at home, in the backyard, while playing etc.). Entering the child’s world allows any child to feel more comfortable and receptive.

Consulting is not therapy

Consulting is not a problem centered approach, yet profound inner healing is often a positive result. Our methods involve supporting health and well-being to emerge in the family system and in the child. We use the relationship model of nurturing the child’s underlying developmental needs called Natural Learning Relationships whole-child development.

Children develop best when the expectations of their environment are compatible with their developmental needs. Our interventions are individualized to each child’s needs within the family system to draw forth well-being. In addition, we have a genuine interest in the well-being of each family member. We empower families to build positive relationships that will last a lifetime.
