Meet Founder, Dr. Shanna Alvarez, Licensed Psychologist

As a child development researcher and clinician, I am passionate about evidence-based parenting even before having kids myself. Once we became parents, we were overwhelmed by the amount of parenting information available, much of it not backed by research. This inspired the Helping Families Thrive mission: to bring parenting science to the real world.  

The tools we share have been found to decrease challenging behaviors, improve parent-child relationships, and decrease parental stress. We don’t promise to make parenting easy, but we do promise that applying our techniques will make the hard work you put in more valuable to you and your family.
