Supporting Parents in Raising Emotionally Healthy, Confident Kids

MJ Pearson

I’m a parenting coach and a Certified Parent Educator through Circle of Security Parenting International. For over ten years, I’ve partnered with families—parents, children, caregivers—helping them deepen connection, improve emotional regulation, and grow in confidence.

I believe every parent has the capacity to meet their child where they are. My work is about helping you find that capacity, especially when you’ve been trying everything and still feel stuck.

Who I Work With

You might be feeling overwhelmed by your child’s emotional regulation challenges. Maybe you’ve tried many strategies and services, but somehow still feel like you’re swimming upstream. Doubt, uncertainty, exhaustion have become familiar—and you want to make a change.

If this is you, you’re in the right place. Whether this is your first step seeking support or you’ve been through a lot already, my coaching is about helping you gain momentum, feel less stuck, and rediscover confidence in your parenting.

In Our Work Together

What You’ll GetWhat It Looks Like
Relational & Attuned SupportA safe space to be heard, understood, and held as you navigate parenting challenges.
Practical Tools & StrategiesEvidence‐based approaches tailored to your child and family—emotional regulation, co‑regulation, routines, attachment, boundaries.
Coaching + ReflectionWe’ll reflect on what’s working, what isn’t, adjust as needed. You won’t just be trying things in theory—you’ll feel the change in day‑to‑day life.
Growing Confidence & ConnectionYou’ll start to feel more grounded in your decisions, more connected to your child, and more trust in your ability to parent your unique child.

Sessions & What to Expect

We begin with an introductory session to share your story, understand your struggles & hopes, and see how we can best work together.

I’ll offer suggestions, resources, and support to practice new strategies in real life.

Your progress becomes visible in small shifts: more moments of calm, connection, less overwhelm that builds over time.

Why This Builds Real Change

Because being heard and understood allows for re‑working what seems stuck. When someone listens deeply, your world can open up. Confusions fall away. Solutions appear. Self‑doubt softens. Confidence grows. Momentum builds.

I use relational, attachment‑based frame works grounded in neuroscience and interpersonal neurobiology. I also use my knowledge of child development and play therapy interventions to help you understand your child’s challenges and stuck points.

Ready to Begin?

If you’re feeling tired of trying the same things over and over, or you’re just wanting to prevent future overwhelm, I’d welcome the chance to work with you.

When I have been listened to and when I have been heard, I am able to re-perceive my world in a new way and to go on. It is astonishing how elements which seem insoluble become soluble when someone listens. How confusions which seem irremediable turn into relatively clear flowing streams when one is heard.
