Another therapist option.....I was a staff member of the East Coast Not Back to School camp... and was really impressed with the camp counselor, Nathen Lester. He('s) worked for NBTSC for many years and understands unschoolers and unschooling. Nathen can help clients whose primary residence is in CA, through skype.

I just checked and his picture and bio from 2011 are on the NBTSC website - you have to scroll down a bit to find him. If your funds are tight, let him know - he may be able to accommodate you.

Best wishes, Cara Barlow

Marji Zintz

Marji is set up to offer one-on-one help with parenting, as The Peaceful Parent Whisperer. She offers help in person (she lives in Olivebridge, New York), by phone, or via the Internet (Gmail chat or Skype).

To hear Marji speak about her family of origin, singing snatches of songs, and talking about music, listen here: Music is the Universal Language (at the bottom of a list of recordings, all available to hear there freely—only 12 minutes long, and beautiful).

Graham Dusseldorp offers coaching for dads wanting to balance work and families:

Graham can counsel in his native Dutch or his very-impressive American-accented English. ("Canadian" he says. Because his wife, Rippy, is Canadian.) (See their family here. )

This is Graham's smaller second job. His main job is a consultant for the government of the Netherlands.

Amy Childs has retired, temporarily or forever, as of December 2018. She's taking a break.
