Who can benefit from Success For Steps?
Newlywed step-couples wanting to get their family off on the right path.
Why? The process focuses on helping partners understand and effectively manage their new family system; thus, setting them up for long-term success.
Married couples who are at odds with one another and feel things aren't improving (despite your efforts) or are actually getting worse.
Why? Spouses will learn better ways to communicate—whether about the child(ren) and/or the ex—developing a plan of action tailored to your needs that'll work to everyone's advantage.
Stepmoms confused and frustrated about their role.
Why? The reasons are endless. Whether you're childless, childfree or have children of your own... being a stepmother is hard. Truth is being a stepmom is the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. I possess both the personal experience and the scientific know-how to, not only guide you on your journey, but improve it.
Stepdads who are at a loss for finding guidance.
Why? Everywhere you look it seems that everything is about the plight of the stepmom. What about stepdads? Well I've worked with countless men- helping them be heard by their wives and, in doing so, given them confidence in their stepdad role.
Biological parents caught in the middle.
Why? You're the rope being pulled tirelessly from both ends. Add to this demands from your child's other parent and you've got yourself a new gig as a tightrope walker. You'll learn tools to get you off this high-wire act.
