What to Expect

First, let’s get to know each other! This call is your chance to ask questions about our experience, approach, and how we support teens, adults, and families—so you can determine if Shine is the right fit for your household.

​

After the call, take all the time you need to discuss with your family. There’s absolutely no rush; we want you to feel confident in your decision.

​

If you choose to move forward with Shine—fantastic! We can’t wait to meet you and get started.

We're so excited to start working with you and your family. Some families ask how frequent sessions will be and what the structure is like. Our answer may surprise you, but we don't necessarily have a structure that we use with every family—every family is different, so our approach is always individualized to you!

​

We value your perspectives, opinions, and thoughts throughout our time together. 

Shine provides coaching for parents and caregivers on independently utilizing strategies and approaches, which will then generalize—making you a pro at supporting your loved one's communication, regulation, independence, and building relationships! ​

 

After we decide that regular sessions are no longer needed, we first do a celebratory dance. Then, we remind you that we are ALWAYS here for you. Parents are always welcome to come back for a refresher session or to discuss new transitions and ways to navigate them.
