Let me introduce myself! I am here to guide and support you on your parenting path. Whether you are a new parent or have been on this journey for a while, I understand that parenting can sometimes feel overwhelming. But don't worry, you're not alone. I am here to provide you with the tools and strategies you need to navigate the challenges of raising young children.

Owner and Clinician: Kristin Lariviere, LMSW

Kristin has been supporting families and children since obtaining her Master of Social Work degree from UCONN in 2015. Most extensively, Kristin has focused on the social emotional health of young children since 2016. Her passion for providing mental health support to this vulnerable population and their families further developed after having a son of her own during the COVID-19 pandemic. This unique parenting experience has strengthened Kristin’s connection to the parenting hardships and triumphs shared by fellow parents who began (or continued) their parenting journey during a historic time.

Kristin has an affinity for iced coffee, chocolate and can be considered as a master-level snacker. Additional (non-food related) interests include yoga, running, travel, being a boy mama and a wife to a music loving husband.

  • At times all parents feel lost or without a clue about what our child might need from us. Imagine what it might feel like if you were able to make sense of what your child was really asking from you. The Circle of Security Parenting™ program is based on decades of research about how secure parent-child relationships can be supported and strengthened.

    • Understand their child’s emotional world by learning to read emotional needs

    • Support their child’s ability to successfully manage emotions

    • Enhance the development of their child's self esteem

    • Honor the innate wisdom and desire for their child to be secure

Our services help parents gain a better understanding of:

  • Their child/ren’s behavior

  • Social/emotional development of young children

  • Age appropriate expectations

  • Ways to support peer and sibling interactions

  • Importance of routine and consistency

  • Practical strategies to use right away!
